PART 2

Leading Your Organization

Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.

—Jack Welch

Once you learn how to lead yourself, you're ready to lead others. Organizations are complex collections of people, each of whom is following his or her own script and has his or her own dreams, needs, and desires. Your job is to help each of your associates give the very best they have to give and to stay out of their way. Part 2 outlines the essentials of how to execute the basics well, the importance of the value proposition, being available to your people, motivating and inspiring associates, and understanding how to leverage your company's assets.
