In The Act of Leadership, accomplished coach and author Dan Haesler delivers an insightful treatment of the behaviors and habits required to effectively lead and coach other people.
As a leader, you might know exactly what you need to do, but might be less clear on how to do it. You might know you need to have that difficult conversation, but youesquo;re less sure about how to have it. You might know you need to hold your team accountable, but donksquo;t know how to do it in a manner that builds authentic engagement rather than mere compliance. The Act of Leadership goes beyond the theory. It is a coaching playbook designed to empower you to be the leader you want to be, and the leader your people need you to be.
