Book excerpt: Many individuals struggle to find time in their day to do the "leadership stuff" they know they should be doing. Finding Time to Lead is their key to success. Whether someone is a CEO, a manager, or an individual contributor who wants to make a difference, Finding Time to Lead will provide them with perspectives and tools to maximize their capacity to lead. Drawing from more than twenty years of experience working side-by-side with leaders of new organizations and new leaders in established companies, Leslie Peters offers a framework of clear and concise shifts, practices, and tools to put individuals in the fast lane toward becoming the leader they want to be. What does it take to be a good leader? Are there shortcuts? How can one prioritize the limited time she or he has available for all of this "leadership stuff"? Leadership is not what one does; it's who he or she is. When leaders take this approach to leadership, it's easy to find time to lead. "Finding Time to Lead compels us to explore the intersection of what it truly means to be a leader and to be human. Leslie Peters brings a no-bullshit, straight-talk perspective to the unique responsibility of leadership - with compelling real-life stories and a clear pathway to guide the very human leader inside us all." -Dean Carter, Head of Finance, HR and Legal at Patagonia
