Unleashing Your Leadership Potential provides the means to unleash the unique capital of leadership inherent in each of us, making it possible for teams, organizations, and society to improve the lives of others while we improve our own. Luc's leadership model is based on case studies and interviews with leaders, providing insights about how excellent leaders developed their own leadership styles. Dr. Luc's model presents seven strategies and underlying actions by which anyone—teacher or student, manager or subordinate, employee or community volunteer, parent or caregiver—can discover their leadership capability and then continuously improve it. This book is not a study of the skills needed for leadership, since leaders come in all shapes and forms, rather it is a guide for readers to use to develop into leaders without attending expensive workshops or time-consuming formal programs.
