Strategic Leadership (Paperback)

- Are great leaders born, or made? - Do we have the potential to develop and improve as leaders? - Does your view on leadership really matter? Each of these questions are answered in Strategic Leadership which provides a look at the evolution of organizational leadership theory through three key paradigm shifts, and the introduction of the STAR Leadership(TM) model. In 'Strategic Leadership', you will trace the perspectives of organizational leadership experts and thought leaders from the 'master birthright paradigm' to the 'inheritance paradigm' to the 'behavior paradigm' and ultimately to the "STAR Leadership(TM) paradigm.' You will discover the precepts of STAR Leadership(TM) as defined by the seven postulates of the core leadership theory, and how this is actualized in the core leadership ideology defined by the Four Ps of STAR Leadership(TM) a leadership purpose, principles of leadership, leadership that inspires passion, and persistent leadership. In this way, 'Strategic Leadership' lays the foundation for STAR Leadership(TM). By the end of 'Strategic Leadership' you will have a solid foundation upon which to intentionally build the skills and practices you need to be the leader you desire to be. In 'Tactical Leadership', the second book of the STAR Leadership(TM) Trilogy, I'll show you how to apply this foundation in practical ways. And in 'Performance Leadership', the third volume in this trilogy, you'll learn how to utilize the concepts and applications of STAR Leadership(TM) to transform your organization into a STAR Performance(TM) organization.
