Find out: -The mindset required -The basic leadership toolkit -Techniques for dealing with the (inevitable) failures -How to get started Whether you are new to the game or reigniting a dormant passion, start leading from where you are, right now, and make a difference. You can lead. Yes, you.

Reviews

When Les writes, I read. Don t be deceived by this book s diminutive size it s like a rich, chunk of leadership fudge that you never want to end. This eye-opening, challenging, and encouraging book may be small, but it packs a big punch. - Steve McKee, Businessweek.com columnist and author of When Growth Stalls. If you don t think of yourself as a leader think again. Les McKeown shows you how to be a great one. This is a must read for anyone who leads (or wants to lead) a company, team or group. - JJ Ramberg, Host of MSNBC s Your Business. Les McKeown s latest book, Do Lead, is a thoroughly refreshing take on what real leadership is all about. It is not about heroics or headlines, it is about achieving real results in the here and now. It s short, to the point, and not to be missed. - Rita Gunther McGrath, Professor and author of The End of Competitive Advantage.
