Product Description

Product Description

Your personal success will come from the ability to manage two connected forms of leadership. How to:

1. Lead Yourself - by having a clear understanding of the personal journey you wish to make and how it will be managed. Once you are able to lead yourself along this journey, you will be more able to;

2. Lead Others - by delivering results that are grounded in the principle of shared rather than selfish success - ultimately 'shared success sustains success'.

Both forms of leadership rely on your ability to operate from a position where your personal security comes from within. Once you understand the principles contained in this book - no longer will the idea of insecurity be seen as a negative and worrying word. Instead, in-security will mean what it says - that your personal security comes from within. Having this security means it is yours to do with as you please and no one can take it away from you. And as a result you are free to enlarge and enhance the level and value of your personal security by investing your security in other people.

If you work for an organisation, the Lead Yourself framework will help to move from a position of Corporate Slavery to Corporate Success. If you work on your own, or wish to launch out and start your own business, this book will give you the framework and tools to help to achieve your goals, and how to take others with you.

From the Back Cover

Would you like to have a clear direction? To have greater purpose, passion and persistence? Would you like it to be easier to make choices and bring others on board in all that you do?

 

Then it’s time to be who you are and who you want to be.

 

Personal leadership is about regaining control of your life. It is the first step to greater success in everything you do – those who demonstrate personal leadership are those other people want to follow (not just because a title like ‘manager’ or ‘father’ says they should).

 

Purpose, passion and direction don’t appear by accident. It takes determination, action and a desire to be the master of your own life. This is the book to help you shed doubts and assumptions and develop the ability to make choices that are right for you, without being a slave to the needs of others.

 

It’s time to take control of your own destiny. Time to Lead Yourself.

Format:Paperback
It would be easy to overlook this book in the sea of self-help. What sets it apart is that Mick Cope's style. It is much more understated than the rather badgering style that characterizes similar books from the USA. It also uses a wide range of thought provoking models to make sense of what's going on. It will appeal to reflective people that like to think before doing rather than relying on instinct. To get on with a book like this it has to match your own personal approach, and for me it worked exceedingly well.

Excellent !! 25 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
This book is extremely thought provoking and I have personally found it inspirational. Mick Cope's 'Lead Yourself' helped me realise that I am the master of my own destiny.

By understanding what is important to me and applying it across my whole life, I am finding that I am becoming more satisfied and more accomplished, both within my home life as well as in the workplace.

Truly excellent use of examples, that almost everyone can relate to, help drive the points home. A REAL must..!!!

Invest in you! 21 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
This book helps you to understand yourself. It embodies the excellent approach to coaching & development that Mick Cope so effectively uses in his books, and his face to face workshops. The bottom line is that you need to thoroughly understand yourself, and what makes yourself tick so that you can use & develop your own skills and abilities. Lead Yourself will really open your eyes to your true potential and will help you to form a solid foundation from which you can start to influence, coach and help others.
