Leadersick: Becoming a Healthy Leader - Paperback

by Keith Kirkpatrick (Author)

Leadersick - Becoming a Healthy Leader is a unique and imaginative approach to looking at how we lead. It is a self-reflective journey and a new way to think about your leadership. Being a leader is a tough job. There are extreme highs and some very serious lows. There are times we perform incredibly well, and at other times, not so great. When our leadership suffers, we feel as if we are sick. It's like having an illness, a malady, a condition. We are Leadersick!

Keith Kirkpatrick, the author, has compiled the pitfalls, mistakes, errors, and problems which befall leaders, and translates them into 28 separate leadership diseases. The reader is introduced to accompanying symptoms, the disease's impact, and treatment alternatives. Nearly 100 leaders from across the country and parts of the world provided input to expand, diversify, and authenticate the dynamics of each leadership disease.

This book is meant to enlighten you, challenge your thinking, and provide you with choices. You may find yourself rethinking your leadership life experiences, understanding what you learned, and plotting a new course to overcome your leadership diseases. Leadersick is a workbook, a conversation starter, a feedback and assessment tool. It will also help you to not take yourself so seriously. It may even make you laugh.

In the end, we all want to be better leaders and have a healthier leadership life. We want to help others overcome their difficulties and make improvements. And we all know, when leaders get better, we all get better. Becoming a healthier leader should be our goal and our intended outcome.
