Becoming a more effective leader is a lifelong journey. We read books, attend courses, get advice from mentors, and learn from experience by doing what feels right in the moment. While each of these strategies is helpful, they don't always take into account the simple truth that changing ourselves in fundamental ways is usually unrealistic and impractical.In the same way that we often have genetic predispositions to certain diseases, you as a leader are probably predisposed to certain personality and character traits. Unfortunately, these predispositions may at times interfere with your ability to be truly effective. Despite this reality, you can make changes in your work environment to override your predispositions and enhance your leadership effectiveness and impact. Just as you can incorporate new eating habits and exercise routines to help minimize your chances of getting a certain disease, you can incorporate changes in your work environment to help you be more impactful. This book provides you with practical and pragmatic techniques and strategies for change, most of which can be implemented immediately and require little or no organizational resources-and most importantly, no major (and almost impossible) personality transformation. We know from experience that making even the slightest environmental change can have a major positive impact, create a more motivational climate, and help you to be viewed as the leader you want to be.If you are an aspiring leader, a mid-level manager, or a seasoned executive looking for a fresh perspective on things and a simple yet powerful set of tools to enhance your leadership effectiveness, it's time to get started and outsmart your leadership genes.

Traditionally, leaders of organizations have tried to gain a competitive advantage by focusing on talent, experience, and incentives, assuming that if they attract the most gifted and experienced individuals and incentivize them properly, the organizations they lead will succeed at the highest level. However, as Harker observes, these assumptions have not stood the test of time. Effort regularly trumps talent; experience, at times, is nothing more than more of the same; and, surprisingly, incentives may actually reduce performance. Citing new developments in psychology and organizational research, Harker proposes an exciting new alternative, claiming everyone has the capacity to lead well. A leader's legacy is not predicated on how much he does or how smart she is; rather, it is determined by his or her leadership insight-the capacity to develop others. Leadership Insight shares Harker's vision for a better world-a vision catalyzed by leaders who focus their efforts on creating a positive climate that inspires grit, success, and well-being.

Now it was all beginning to make sense to me. This plane ride was not about Jonathan or about me. This plane ride was about how Jonathan and I can help each other so that we could help others achieve their goals and follow their dreams. This is a man that I have hated over the past four years for what he was doing to me. I soon realized that I was so focused on his behavior that I wasn't doing anything to change mine. This was a tragedy over the past several years and such a waste of time for the both of us. If we both picked up on the human connection where I found my Leadership Gene, things might have been a lot different between us. For the first time in my life, I realized that I could be human, and also be a leader. I also realized that you can't separate the two. Learn how to be a true leader in the face of any adversity in The Leadership Gene.
