Simple Shifts

Leadership edge: It's a noisy world and there is a blaring cry for effective leadership. Today's leaders are faced with big challenges. They're looking for better ways to engage and lead their teams because they know effective leadership changes everything.

Here at last a new approach to learning to lead. In her exciting new book, national leadership expert Terri Hughes presents a method she has crafted over nearly 27 years as a leadership coach, advisor and now author.

All of us have the potential for success and effective leadership inside us. But before you can effectively lead others, you must understand your own strengths and weaknesses. Fear, doubt and resistance to change often block our growth. In her 27 years working with leaders, Terri Hughes has learned that the catalyst for effective leadership and personal development is self-awareness. It's that simple. The best leaders are the ones who try new things, new approaches. They innovate and make simple shifts or practical changes for big results.

Terri writes: "It's not about how smart or experienced we are as leaders that create our success. It's about how self-aware we are and how well we observe ourselves in action to allow us to adopt approaches that give us the results we want."
