Description:
As a leader, you likely find yourself frustrated at times, wondering why employees don't meet expectations, peers are slow to act, or pressure from your boss falls unfairly on your shoulders. It's easy to point a finger at others and double down on getting results. But have you ever considered that the problem may not be them--it may be you?
Through countless hours coaching executives, Muriel M. Wilkins has pinpointed the biggest reason behind these common leadership challenges: hidden blockers. These unconscious beliefs can block progress if leaders aren't aware of their existence, preventing leaders from seeing a situation clearly, solving problems effectively, and advancing their careers.
Leadership Unblocked reveals seven beliefs that hold leaders back, from "I know I'm right" to "I need to be involved" to "I don't belong here." Combining powerful coaching conversations and research from the fields of neuroscience, leadership, and adult development theory, Wilkins offers a road map for identifying, unpacking, and breaking through these barriers.
By using the tools in this book, you can finally cultivate the mindset to achieve your goals and become the leader you want to be.
