Description

From the team behind the corporate leadership consulting firm Lead Star--three leadership experts with military backgrounds--comes the New York Times bestseller Spark, "a myth-destroying book that will make you rethink both the theory and practice of leadership" (Daniel H. Pink).

Leadership is not about job titles--it's about action and behavior. "Sparks" are the doers, thinkers, innovators, and key influencers who are catalysts for personal and organizational change. But these extraordinary individuals aren't defined by the place they hold on an organizational chart--they are defined by their actions, commitment, and will.

Leadership experts Angie Morgan, Courtney Lynch, and Sean Lynch show how you can become a Spark by cultivating seven key leadership behaviors. Grounded in the latest research on leadership development, this fresh, accessible road map is packed with real-world stories from inside companies like Facebook, Google, and Boston Scientific, and from the authors' own high-stakes, challenging experiences serving in the US Armed Forces.

With Spark as a blueprint, anyone can become a catalyst for change, and any organization can identify and develop Sparks.

Featuring a Foreword by Frederick W. Smith, founder, chairman and CEO of FedEx
