Aligniment is a Key to Success

Unleashing Leadership is right on target -- alignment is essential for the organization and individual contributors as well as leaders. The book presents a system that is both a process and a tool kit. It's all there to effectively align the task with the leader, the team members with the leader, and talent with the position. I liked the idea of the circular leadership model rather than the traditional vertical or horizontal models. Everyone on the team can lead when what they do best is aligned with the the appropriate task. The whole concept is unleashed in the second half of the book when the four leadership styles are defined. Get the book and unleash your leadership potential!
