Chapter 6. Leadership by Defining Problems and Reaching Solutions

GOALS

  • identify the pros and cons of different leadership styles

  • isolate and offer solutions for several common leadership problems

  • apply problem–solution insights to the day-to-day challenges of leadership

Leading other people is much like playing golf or tennis. Just when we think we’re getting good at it, up pops a problem or situation that makes us humble again, sending us “back to school” in search of solutions.

Your Turn
