Welcome to Soundview's summary of From Bud to Boss: Secrets to a Successful
Transition to Remarkable Leadership,
written by Kevin Eikenberry
and Guy Harris.
Kevin Eikenberry is the Chief Potential Officer of the Kevin Eikenberry Group,
a learning consulting company,
and the author of Remarkable Leadership.
Guy Harris is the owner of Principle Driven Consulting and also a trainer and
executive coach with the Kevin Eikenberry Group.
The professional transition it takes you from being one of the contributors to
stepping up to the leadership position
will demand two important building blocks according to the authors:
your desire to succeed and the belief that you can succeed.
From Bud to Boss examines the challenges of this transition including
bolstering your belief in yourself,
understanding role changes, accepting relationship changes with your former
peers,
and meeting the responsibilities that confront a new leader.
The authors discuss how to communicate change effectively, how to coach others,
how to work with the group and shape it into a team, and how to create goals
with others to gain agreement and create engagement.
Leadership is not a power-grab the authors tell us. Your power or influence
as the leader will be gained through your behaviors and values, not your position.
From Bud to Boss is valuable for anyone facing their first promotion to
leadership
or for anyone anticipating becoming a leader.
