The Five Minute Leadership Guide: Leadership Development in Five Minutes per Day

Product Description
Thoughtful leadership is needed now more than ever. Great organizations need their top talent to be great leaders, as well as subject matter experts. Leadership has to be developed.
Leadership improves with experience, practice, and effort. This guide is a personal journey to become an even better leader.
DEVELOP THE CRITICAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS TEAMS NEED NOW
This is not a leadership "how to" book. It's a daily planner set in a conversational format that helps the reader focus and grow day-by-day.
"I like the way the first sections set the stage by asking readers to take stock of their skills and competencies. The author also challenges readers to develop their personal mission and vision statements, which is a powerful way to start thinking about what kind of a leader one wants to be.
Then, as readers progress with the daily planner entries, they can focus on achieving their personal mission and vision. I like the way the author encourages readers to spend five minutes per day on leadership development and provides the tool (this guide) to do so. Each day's entry page is presented with a quote, and that's a relevant added bonus to help readers focus the day's priorities and address the day's challenges. This guide/planner is a useful tool that I recommend for leaders at all levels of an organization and at all stages of leadership development."

Suzanne Tulien, Author,
Personal Brand Clarity; Identify, Define & Align to What You Want to Be Known For"\nThe Five Minute Leadership Guide is not a book about why leadership is important. There are enough of those. Instead, Mary Kelly has developed a work focused on "how" to become an effective leader. I am using this guide as my daily "leadership workout" and I expect real results. She has broken down all of the key components into a workable set of exercises. This is the guide we have all needed." -
