Lead in Six Moments that Matter
By Henry Evans and Colm Foster
Jossey-Bass, 194 pages, $28
No matter what your title or place in the organization chart, you have the potential to be a leader—or more precisely, the potential to exercise leadership in the moments that matter most. Leadership is not a job title or position, but rather an action, according to Step Up's authors, executive coaches and former martial artists Henry Evans and Colm Foster. These leadership situations, and there are six of them, are opportunities for anyone to demonstrate they have what ot takes to lead, the authors say. They are—1) get angry, not stupid; 2) avoid terminal politeness; 3) decide already; 4) act when you art the problem; 5) leverage pessimism; and, 6) reverse momentum. The authors go into detail about each of these situations and offer advice for how people can become the leaders they were born to be.
