Leaders are not born. Leaders are made. Leadership is learned. There are plenty of resources focused on leadership development. They include books by leadership experts, videos, and training. While they all share concepts that resonate, most leave you fuzzy on how to make leadership real. They focus on the "what" but not the "how" of leadership. Strategic Pause shows you how to build a Personal Leadership Model that covers both the "what" (the Principles) and the "how" (the Methods) of leadership. It defines leadership in the present (taking Strategic Pauses) and leadership focused on the future (practicing Strategic Management). It helps you put leadership in your own words and discover your leadership style, the "who" of leadership. Strategic Pause is the leadership book that makes leadership real and fast-forwards your leadership growth. The book is named after the method you use to lead in the present. Taking strategic pauses is how you lead in the moment. It is recognizing that you can control your day by controlling your responses to the parade of situations that make up your day. Taking a strategic pause is captured in the subtitle: "Stop. Think. Lead." When the pressure is on, you choose to stay composed. Instead of doing what you have always done, you choose to challenge business-as-usual and select a better path. When evaluating your options, you choose the alternative that best leverages strengths and impacts the big picture. The strategic pause is only one part of Strategic Pause, the leadership book. If you want to grow as a leader, this is the book you have been looking for.
