{"product_id":"the-reluctant-leader-ebook","title":"The Reluctant Leader (Ebook)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA leadership book for the people who never asked to lead. It begins from an uncomfortable truth: most personal and leadership development fails, not because people lack intelligence or capability, but because the deeper work on beliefs never happens. Disbelief, the inner critic, perfectionism, discouragement, core insecurity and imposter syndrome all follow people into leadership, where the spotlight amplifies them rather than resolving them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book deconstructs the myth of the perfect leadership style. Authoritative, autocratic, democratic, transformational, transactional, servant, coaching, pacesetting, laissez-faire and bureaucratic leadership are each examined honestly, for what they actually cost and what they actually deliver. Every strength, overused, becomes a liability. Effectiveness is not about mastering one style but reading the situation and switching modes on purpose, with clear guardrails, so flexibility reads as intentional rather than flaky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on situational and adaptive leadership, McClelland's three motivators, and the four developmental levels of followers, it shows how to diagnose what each person needs for the task in front of them. The final part turns to building real leadership through small, compounding habits, self-awareness and self-discipline, and leading people through change. The argument throughout: leadership is built out of repeated choices, not revelations, transformation by accumulation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sam Dalton Studios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58610643992960,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/sam-dalton-studios.myshopify.com\/products\/the-reluctant-leader-ebook","provider":"Sam Dalton Studios","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
