Most of us will never have seen ourselves as being leaders. For most of us, the thought of taking charge of an office will not so long ago have seemed completely absurd. That’s a job for highfliers, for people-people… for born leaders!

But despite any initial apprehension, leadership roles are something that many of us will have thrust upon us against any protestations. In most industries, progress and a hike in salary mean taking on more responsibility. And that responsibility will very often take the form of some kind of leadership role. You can only progress so far before you start having staff under you and, the further you then climb the ladder the more people will start looking to you for direction and the more people you’ll be responsible for.

That then leaves two choices: shy away from the pressure and the responsibility and live on the modest salary that comes from that or learn to suck it up and take charge.

And guess what? When you do accept that mantle and become the leader that you can be, you’ll find that it’s one of the best experiences imaginable for your personal growth and development. You’ll become more confident, more able, and more authoritative and, it can completely transform the way you see yourself.

So now the big question: can you learn leadership? Are some people simply destined to be good leaders while others will forever be disrespected and awkward in the role?

Well, while some people are ‘born with it’ (as Maybelline would have us believe), it certainly is possible to learn the skills needed for leadership if you don't already have them. And as it happens, that's exactly what this book is about to do for you!
