The Tools: The Skills You Need to Become a Strong Leader

Description

Managing people is as rewarding as it is challenging. There is immense joy and fulfillment in successfully leading and growing a team, but it does not happen magically or easily. Instead, effective leadership requires knowledge, skills, experience and support. In this book you will receive practical information on 17 of the most important skills you will need to develop to become a strong leader. It is designed to be a practical, useful resource for you to use and revisit throughout your managerial journey.  The focus is on the mechanics and tactical skills of being a manager. For additional support, check out our workbook, Beyond the Tools: A Self-Reflection Workbook on the Mindset and Values that Affect the Way You Lead, designed to help you do the internal work that lays the foundation for becoming the leader you envision yourself to be. It is our belief that strong leadership requires mastery of both the practical skills and the inner work. These books cover both.

There is value in completing this book on your own and great opportunity for deeper impact with additional support. We encourage you to find a colleague, friend or group to share the process with you. Here at Katherine Spinney Coaching, we provide coaching support along with a 6-week corresponding The Tools course to help you get the most out of the experience.

Some of the skills included in this book include: vision-setting, problem solving, time management, delegating and communication. All the included skills will combine to help you become a strong leader.
