Unlock Your Leadership: Secrets & Straight Answers on Standing Out, Moving Up, and Getting Ahead as the Leader You Really Are is an essential resource for early or mid-career professionals who want to attract and accelerate leadership opportunities at work. Written by Damaris Patterson Price, a Human Resources veteran and practicing executive coach, Unlock Your Leadership takes a look at why you're not being offered leadership positions and what to do about it by exploring: - What may be getting in the way of your next promotion. - The key differences between people who attract choice career opportunities and those who do not. - The nuanced walk and talk of professionals who are considered promotable leadership material. - Strategic behaviors that can help you demonstrate that you are ready for what's next - right now. Getting ahead at work often means learning the hard way - and usually on your own. Unlock Your Leadership is a supportive partner that will offer a development plan and honest insights about career climbing that, unfortunately, most professionals will never get. If you don't have a personal career coach, this book is the next best thing.
