Leadership in Everyday Life

A life well-lived requires courage, insight and the ability to see one's self as a leader, not a follower. Leadership is not just for CEOs - leadership is an essential quality for successful everyday life. The ability to lead and role model for others positively influences the outcomes of all human interactions. As therapists who work with the terminally ill and their families, the authors have observed that many people come to the end of their lives with numerous regrets. Their regrets are usually about situations they didn't take charge of even though they knew they needed to. This book follows six individuals who are facing challenges in their lives. It shows how they exhibited leadership traits that moved them forward to better places than where they had been before. Through their stories we are challenged and inspired to examine our personal obstacles, and use the illustrated key constructs of leadership to improve the quality of our own lives.
