Publisher's Synopsis
It's time to change your leadership game!
The meaning of the word leadership is currently in major flux in many organizations around the world. Being a leader is no longer about having all the answers, making all the decisions, driving your team hard and being in the spotlight.
The workplace needs a new way of leading that engages and motivates people. In this groundbreaking work on leadership development, experienced coach Steffan Surdek introduces you to co-creative leadership and the five key skills of a co-creative leader.
This book anchors the five key skills in real-world experiences and the story of Steffan's own personal growth. You will find a wealth of wisdom here on developing yourself as a leader and unlocking the power of co-creative leadership.
Why The Way of the Co-Creative Leader?
Co-creative leadership is a mindset and a leadership style that encourages leaders to engage and motivate their employees in a very different way.
The core idea behind it is that as a leader, becoming aware of how you talk and interact with your team is the key to transform your leadership.
In the coaching world, we typically talk about this self-awareness by referring to a person's "way of being".
In this book, this is something I call your leadership game. In the first third of this book, I will begin by teaching some fundamentals and how you can start seeing your leadership game in action.
In the rest of the book, I will teach you about co-creative leadership and the five key skills of a co-creative leader.
Throughout the book, I share with you stories of my own personal growth as well as stories that happened with clients to help ground the notions in reality.
