DIRECT LEADERSHIP™ -clarity and consistency in 21st century leadership The old recipe for being a good everyday leader has become obsolete. Karin Zastrow's book DIRECT LEADERSHIP™ - the new narrative of everyday leadership and the corresponding DIRECT LEADERSHIP training concept provide a new formula, suited to leadership in the 21st century and designed to turn leaders into effective and visible agents who serve the interests of both their employers, their staff and themselves. Regardless of the context, hierarchical level, industry or sector, the job of leading others has a common generic core. In order to manoeuver skillfully in today's leadership landscape, the leader needs to have a solid grip on this core. The DIRECT LEADERSHIP model includes 7 areas of responsibility, which the leader must all pay attention to when interacting with staff. Likewise there are a set of 4 contemporary leadership styles, which must all be mastered. When leaders have a firm grip on the array of leadership responsibilities they may seize the leadership opportunities when they occur - and take relevant action in the style which reflects their intention in given moment. The book provides understanding - the training leads to the desired result! 
DIRECT LEADERSHIP™ makes leadership concrete and measurable by mapping the demands and tools of the leader's job. The model lends itself equally well to training and coaching. A central tool in the application of the concept is the DIRECT LEADERSHIP™ board game which trains the leader's overview and ability to manoeuver in relation to his/her employees. Organisations who do not provide this overview and ability to manoeuver to their leaders fail both their leaders and their staff. Buy the book here: (Note that shipping charges may be added) |
