Something Needs to Change Around Here
Liz Weber is my new leadership go-to guru. Her newest book: Something Needs to Change Around Here: The Five Stages of Leveraging Your Leadership is hot off the press and finally unlocks the mystery of the multiple stages of leadership. Because when a leader does their job better, they are in a position to help their employees perform their jobs better too.
The Dragon Lady of Leadership Accountability (Liz’s nickname) outlines why so many are frustrated with their employees, teams, organizations and businesses. It often boils down to the person in charge who is not managing or leading their employees the right way at the right time. Here is Liz’s thesis in a nutshell – great leadership should evolve and change over time. The one-size-fits-all leader will never help an organization move forward or motivate employees on a regular basis.
Liz’s book is a simple graphic representation to help business owners, managers & other leaders understand how they need to shift their thinking of their own roles & responsibilities to better lead their team members. She also provides great insight for the emerging leader that will soon take on new leadership responsibilities.
Leaders need to be savvy about what they need to do regularly to grow in their role and expand their leadership abilities. Liz provides a clear framework and actionable steps to help leaders move from doing and developing systems all the way to mentoring and moving on – because a good leader also know when it’s time to step aside for the benefit of the organization.
The beauty of this book is its simplicity, directness, and practical advice that any leader can learn from. I enjoyed this book immensely and refer to it often for leadership tune-ups for my clients. Being a great leader should not be a mystery but it does take a willingness to learn, grow, and evolve with your organization.
