The Unexpected Leader: How to Achieve Team Success Without a Title

Rising to a position of leadership is both a choice and a journey. Not all great leaders seek leadership from the beginning, and not all who seek leadership are prepared for the demands involved. The Unexpected Leader is an excellent resource for all types of leaders, from the new leader who is working to develop an effective leadership style, to the long-time leader who has grown complacent over the years—and everyone in between. Written in the form of a short, engaging tale, The Unexpected Leader illustrates how different leadership styles affect a team, and how one can become a more effective leader by following a simple five-step process. The Unexpected Leader also addresses how to recover quickly when failure happens—and how to prevent mistakes from becoming obstacles to long-term success.
