The Self-Aware Leader: A Proven Model for Reinventing Yourself

Written by Fortune 100 executive Dan Gallagher, The Self-Aware Leader is a unique approach on how to become a more effective leader by increasing self-awareness in four pillars of leadership. By integrating the concepts of reinvention, servant leadership, and business transformation into a single framework that has been validated in research, The Self-Aware Leader emphasizes taking a calculated approach to change rather than merely reacting to change. The Self-Aware Leader also helps readers recognize three basic truths which are crucial to success within organizations: approaches to management have a shelf life; middle managers are frequently caught between “a rock and a hard place”; and, with conservatism on the rise, becoming and remaining an effective leader is extremely complex. This book offers two key takeaways; (1) a new mental framework on leadership more appropriate for today’s business conditions; and (2) a functional, practical plan for putting the newly learned concepts presented into daily practice.
