Opis

When you boil it down to its essence, leadership is about working with others to make a difference--in our family, school, community, business...or even our world. Combining an illustrated fable, practical exercises, and a solid gardening metaphor, author Debra Slover presents a new view of leadership based not only in our skills, but also in our self-confidence. U.N.I.Q.U.E. stands for the Understanding, Nurturing, Inventive, Quality, Unstoppable, Expression of leadership. We learn these attributes as we tour the Leadership Farm with the lost sheep Hugh. Other farm animals teach him (and us) how to rid our personal "Leadership Garden" of the toxic weeds of negative thinking--and how to plant and nurture the powerful, positively focused new seeds (thoughts, feelings, and behaviors) that enrich our lives and empower us to thrive. On the U.N.I.Q.U.E. tour, we learn how to: balance and blend four key leader behaviors and six leader-friendly gardening practices...create a unique purpose and aim...easily develop leadership attributes...remove barriers and commit to the future we desire...and how to express the true voice of the leader within us.
