Taking the Lead
What Riding a Bike Can Teach You About Leadership
If you’ve ridden a bike, two things have happened:
- You’ll never forget how.
- You’ve experienced the principles that drive leadership excellence.
Taking the Lead is not a book about cycling. It uses the bike riding experience to illustrate leadership principles and examine effective leadership styles.
Whether you’re new in a leadership role or you’re a seasoned leader, Taking the Lead lays out key behaviors that will maximize your influence and help you lead with excellence in whatever leadership role you fill: in the marketplace, your home, your marriage or in the community.
