Book Description
What enables a prisoner to lead a nation, an attorney or minister to inspire widespread social change, or a geek to become the CEO of a powerful corporation? People enter into leadership in any number of ways – some by excelling at their craft and others quite by accident. Some go on to become great leaders and others do not. What is the mysterious alchemy that can lead a person to greatness, and can we identify and prepare someone for leadership? A Journey of Epiphanies: Learning Leadership explores the specific path that all great leaders take. It is a path of shared realizations – epiphanies – that enables people to become inspirational leaders. As such, pursuing leadership is a matter of choice. Not reserved just for the elite or chosen few. This book is for anyone who has ever dreamed of becoming a leader and for those who are looking for a leader. A Journey of Epiphanies: Learning Leadership examines all the aspects of leadership and shows how to make the journey. Reflecting upon the leadership of Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Colin Powell, Steve Jobs, and many others, what emerges is a practical guide to leadership that virtually anyone can use. Having studied leadership and been in leadership roles for more than 25 years, Terry R. Vergon thoughtfully explains how to progress through each epiphany and the effect each has on our behavior. Then he looks at how each epiphany ripples through organizations and groups of people to inspire them to achieve amazing goals. Written to encourage people to pursue their dreams of leadership, Vergon also hopes to change what we look for in leaders and how we develop and mentor them.
