Leading Leaders: The Workbook

Leading Leaders: The Workbook is a companion to Mickey Addison’s acclaimed work by the same title, but can be used as a stand-alone guide for discussion groups, seminars, and individual study. Thoughtful questions and chapter self-assessments will assist leaders and teams to improve their leadership skills through candid review of both leadership and followership skills. This workbook is even more valuable when used side by side with the book Leading Leaders: Inspiring, Empowering, and Motivating Teams. Drawn from a lifetime of leading in the military, in sports, and in volunteer organizations, Leading Leaders is both an engrossing and interesting way to learn to lead better. Mickey takes leadership lessons from his own career, as well as from historical and contemporary leaders, and creates an engaging, down-to-earth dialogue with the reader.
