There is a problem in today's developing leaders-they think they need to be someone they are not to get what they want. In short, none of us is perfect, and when we pretend to be, people quit listening to us. Instead, we need to focus on trying to connect with others. Leading Imperfectly is full of examples for how to make those connections. The book is divided into a series of short, often humorous, and always insightful essays filled with real-life stories from James' own life. The through line for the book is the significance of practicing authentic leadership. The essays discuss topics such as realizing our story has value, the importance of love in leadership, how to prevent over-committing because you can't be everything to everyone, realizing you don't have all the answers, and some practical advice about the importance of valuing the time we have and giving that time to the most important people in our lives. James also challenges us to look at the lies we tell ourselves that hold us back in life, and to learn how to listen to others so they will listen to us. James' humor provides comic relief in the middle of some of the more serious stories, but the humor always makes his examples hit home and keeps his stories memorable. Readers will appreciate that while he speaks as someone who has had success in life, his leadership background is not that of the typical leader who writes leadership books-he's not a former company CEO or a famous athlete-and that makes his points stand out all the more. Educators, business professionals, student leaders, and others will find this book to be introspective, validating, and motivational. Most importantly they will take away that their story is good enough. Check out Leading Imperfectly. Between the chuckles, there's quite a bit of wisdom that will stick with you long after you turn the last page. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

As an introvert, I have truly enjoyed my progression away from traveling and working in the public, to an internet-based career: yet, there was something missing on my websites, blogs and social media...
There was an impasse – a block that prevented my efforts of communication from being effectively reached and appreciated by the audiences that I marketed to. That “Block” was revealed and explained in this book, along with powerful solutions.
James is a clever and humorous story-teller. His styled freed-up my pinned-in emotions and fears about sharing too much of my personal life. My readers need to know that I am a real person with issues and challenges – that’s why I reach out, via the internet – in an attempt to help whom I can. Be it a word of encouragement, advice, tips and tricks or products and services; it is my ultimate goal to enhance the lives of others. This book helped me to look deeper at “My Why” and share a bit more of the real Me...SMILE!!! ( )
