There is a composite form of genius waiting to be discovered in every organization. The components are there! It's up to the leader to effectively assemble them. This can be done successfully only within a healthy culture where people are respected, connected, and fully empowered to make their greatest individual and collective contributions.Leadership is about more than the quality of what is produced. It's also about the quality of life experienced by the people producing it. Leadership is all about people, and despite how obvious this may seem, we have all encountered people in leadership positions who didn't seem to realize that. As a leader, it's important to realize that people don't want to follow you simply because you are ahead of them or because you are somehow perceived to be above them. They want to follow you because you have demonstrated that you will walk side by sidewith them.You may be an experienced leader, or you might now be starting your exploration of leadership. This book is intended to be valuable for everyone regardless of their current realities or long-term goals. Assembly Required is a practical approach to leadership. Rather than featuring stories about legendary leaders in business and politics, the focus is on scenarios that most of us are likely to encounter - things we can all relate to, and the corresponding philosophies and strategies that will be helpful not only with respect to leadership roles, but also in day-to-day life.
