We’re all searching for ways to live life to its fullest, be the best in our careers, and lead effectively. But what are the concrete steps to get you there? Business professional, Coach John Wandolowski had the same question. In his first supervisory position, Wandolowski became a student of Dr. Michael Durst’s revolutionary Management by Responsibility concept. Through years of studying and putting these concepts into practice, Wandolowski, a successful business leader and teacher in his own right, has devised a strategy for achieving more. Using the premise that “we are responsible for everything in our experience, whether we like it or not,” Wandolowski teaches empowering methods that will inspire others and give new and experienced leaders the confidence to level up their careers. Understanding that work and business are based upon human interaction, Building Your Leadership Toolbox introduces strategies that you can begin applying right now to supercharge your business. Every good craftsperson has a toolbox at the ready for whatever challenges their next project offers. At work, what is in your toolbox? From honing self-awareness to confronting and improving your limitations as a leader, learn to optimize the employee and customer interactions you have daily while removing obstacles and reducing limiting situations. Now is the time to invest in yourself, to give yourself the insights that other successful leaders rely on. Equip yourself with the essentials by following Wandolowski’s concise guidance to get more from your team, achieve loyalty, and become more motivated and in control of your business.

Imagine a business environment where front-line employees are highly engaged and take pride in the success of the company, current leaders have time to mentor their own replacements, and process improvements are implemented quickly before gaps affect the bottom line. The Leadership Toolbox offers readers a proven systematic process for helping employees and business leaders quickly increase leadership skills, while implementing solutions that impact their revenue and bottom line. Vetted by thousands of employees, these fun and engaging practical strategies have consistently resulted in quantifiable outcomes for organizations, and in much shorter periods of time than anyone thought possible. Vicki Brackett designed these tools for easy implementation within virtually any organization-from small start-ups to Fortune 100 multinational companies, encouraging authentic inclusion that drives dramatic results. With engaging narratives and real-life case studies, The Leadership Toolbox illustrates how these small building blocks can be used separately or together to cause a chain reaction of success within any organization.

Practical, Proven Tools for Leading and Empowering High-Performing Agile Teams A leader is like a farmer, who doesn’t grow crops by pulling them but instead creates the perfect environment for the crops to grow and thrive. If you lead in organizations that have adopted agile methods, you know it’s crucial to create the right environment for your agile teams. Traditional tools such as Gantt charts, detailed plans, and internal KPIs aren’t adequate for complex and fast-changing markets, but merely trusting employees and teams to self-manage is insufficient as well. In Agile Leadership Toolkit, longtime agile leader Peter Koning provides a practical and invaluable steering wheel for agile leaders and their teams. Drawing on his extensive experience helping leaders drive more value from agile, Koning offers a comprehensive toolkit for continuously improving your environment, including structures, metrics, meeting techniques, and governance for creating thriving teams that build disruptive products and services. Koning thoughtfully explains how to lead agile teams at large scale and how team members fit into both the team and the wider organization. Architect environments that help teams learn, grow, and flourish for the long term Get timely feedback everyone can use to improve Co-create goals focused on the customer, not the internal organization Help teams brainstorm and visualize the value of their work to the customer Facilitate team ownership and accelerate team learning Support culture change, and design healthier team habits Make bigger changes faster This actionable guide is for leaders at all levels—whether you’re supervising your first agile team, responsible for multiple teams, or lead the entire company.

"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." -- Albert Einstein Modern business leaders are just too aware of how much the world has changed in the last decades and continues to do so. It is little wonder then that even the best of us can feel overwhelmed by the many demands we now face in our working and private lives. Summarizing the knowledge and experiences of three experts in the field, and offering practical insights from specialists around the world, this book offers a new approach to leadership and personal development by focussing on the links between these two areas. The good old times of planning one’s development in a linear, step-by-step fashion over a lifetime are over. While recognising that there are different learning styles and personality types, the authors present a more proactive, flexible and emergent approach to your development. Topics such as sustainability, complexity and creativity are considered key issues that should play a role in not only developing a positive, future society, but also in refining the current and future you. This modern approach will give you a cutting-edge advantage in our fast changing world. Since the three authors whole heartedly agree with Einstein’s maxim, this book should be considered an attempt to equip you with new levels of thinking and new skill sets to make you more successful at leading and developing yourself and others in a variety of contexts. With structured activities and proven techniques from people who have successfully applied the lessons found in this book, Leadership and Personal Development, A toolbox for the 21 century professional, you will be armed with an effective approach to development.
