Top Executive Coach’s New Book Helps Leaders Find Their Voice
Lambertville, MI (PRWEB) July 27, 2016 -- It’s an age-old question—are leaders born or made? Research says, they’re made. Only 10-15 percent are natural born leaders.
Paul N. Larsen, top executive coach and business consultant, agrees. That’s why he’s authored "Find Your VOICE as a Leader," a book poised to help leaders in all aspects of life find their voice and make a deliberate impact.
Released today, on the birthday of his inspirational late sister, the e-book is available at Amazon and http://www.paulnlarsen.com. The print version will be available this fall.
Larsen has worked with hundreds of leaders from all types of industries and organizations. While very different people, they all have one thing in common—they realize that they need to find their unique leadership voice.
“At senior levels, leaders have normally achieved a high level of success, but when I ask them what their legacy as a leader is, many of them answer with a blank face,” explained Larsen. “If you don’t author your legacy, it will be authored for you. This book helps you discover who you want to be as a leader, what kind of impact you want to have, and then how to do it. It guides you in the development of your leadership brand.”
Through Larsen’s common-sense V-O-I-C-E model, readers can follow five simple steps to uncover their leadership brand and put it into action. The model has been used successfully by leaders within organizations such as Twitter, SAP, and Walmart.
Finding a V-O-I-C-E as a leader involves:
• Discovering core Values. Leaders need to ask themselves what’s really important.
• Creating a compelling vision to obtain the Outcomes leaders want. Is their vision congruent with their values?
• Building relationships with Influence and credibility. How do leaders engage with people to achieve their outcomes?
• Making decisions that reveal their Courage and confidence to take a stand. Where do leaders need to step outside their comfort zone to be the leader they want to be?
• Communicating leaders' overall Expression for lasting impact. How can they express their leadership brand?
