Developing Direct Reports: Taking the guesswork out of leading leaders

Great leaders develop their people.
Are you in a leadership role where your people are also leaders?

Do you want to…
• understand what’s really driving the dysfunctional behaviours you observe?
• become a catalyst for behaviour change that sticks?
• take the guesswork out of developing your direct reports?

Written for leaders who lead leaders, this book addresses the 12 most common, globally recognised leadership derailers:

Staller – analysis paralysis
• Controller – command and control
• Cyclone – bull at a gate
• Doer – can’t delegate
• Avoider – conflict averse
• Fence-sitter – indecisive leader
• Know-it-all – closed to other ideas
• Guardian – inability to innovate
• Micromanager – management on a leash
• Poker face – showing no emotions
• People burner – poor people skills
• Tactician – poor strategic thinker

Packed with examples, insights and recommendations – and supported by a practical framework – this book will show you how to incorporate strategies specific to the personality types you lead. Great leaders can be created, and this book shows you how.
