How to Become a Born Leader

A boss and a leader are wildly different creatures. The boss lurks

behind to prod, goad, and threaten workers, or stands in front to

entice them to do jobs they would never do otherwise. A leader, by

contrast, burrows into the hearts of employees and sets them afire

with a desire to do those very things. This book offers a roadmap

to wean managers away from the carrots-and-sticks approach and

to empower them with tools to motivate workers from within. Each

reader is thrust into a centrifuge and spun until the heavier

qualities of a leader have been separated out and the superficial

features of a boss may be cast off, leaving only pure

leadership behind. Years later, those uninformed souls who never

witnessed the transformation stand in awe of one they mistakenly

call a “born leader,” one who exerts an almost magical spell over

those being led. Leaders are not born, but built as you scale the

Leadership Pyramid.
