LEMON Leadership: Radically Fresh Leadership

by Brett Johnson

Why another book about leadership? The author's work involves meeting with many leaders from around the world each year and they all have this in they want to have impact. They have mastered their craft and moved beyond the basics of running an organization. Best Practices are routine. They are looking at the deeper life issues. This inevitably brings them to the topic of leadership and more specifically, who they are. This book is not a "How To" of leadership, but a "Who are you?" book that considers leadership in a fresh way. Those who work at the coalface of human need are convinced that the lack of leaders is the number one issue in the world today. This stems partly from the fact that our definitions of leadership are too narrow - incomplete. We know lots about entrepreneurs and managers, but there are other types of leaders about which we know precious little. LEMON Leadership® expands our view of leadership to cover five distinct types of leaders; not styles, not temperaments, not preferences...types. The simple truths about LEMON Leadership® have transformed the lives of individual leaders and changed the working of executive teams. Understanding the truisms in this book will radically increase your impact.

Great insight into what type of leader you are!! It shares on strenghts and weaknesses of each leader type - in this way, it also brings clarity on how different people are from one another and how to respect that. Recommendable book!
