You Don't Need a Title to be a Leader: How to Create Leaders at Every Level

Think about who has the most direct contact with clients and customers in your company. More often than not, they are front-line employees with no overt power or authority. Yet they are the ones who solve problems, build relationships with those they serve, and deliver the results that will make or break your success. What would happen if they thought of themselves as leaders and acted as such?

The best organizations are those where every employee knows how and when to lead. Leadership at the top is important, but leadership throughout is just as important.

Titles can confirm leadership abilities, but they can’t bestow them. Leadership is about who the leader is, what she does, and what she achieves, not her position on the org chart.

You Don’t Need A Title to Be A Leader opens your eyes to the potential of leadership and teaches you how to develop leadership in teammates. Big L leaders have titles, but as you understand leadership with a “little l,” you see there are small things each of us can do every day to positively influence customers, colleagues, friends, and communities. Authentic leaders embrace qualities that define them as leaders regardless of a title.

Based on his bestselling book by the same name, this is an updated program incorporating what Mark has learned working with and developing leaders for 33 years.
