Leading Things You Didn't Start: Winning Big When You Inherit People, Places, and Possibilities

Publisher Description

Tyler Reagin addresses a mission-critical but often overlooked aspect of leadership- healthy upward transition. Most leaders find themselves responsible for organizations, teams, and products that they didn't launch from the ground up. They step into the middle of established cultures, processes, teams, and goals. It's from that middle that they must make the most challenging and crucial decisions. Through the use of tried-and-true coaching principles and practical case studies with leaders like Buzz Williams, head coach at Texas A&M, and Cheryl Bachelder, former CEO of Popeyes, Reagin helps you maximize your newfound influx of influence and master the intentions of an inheriting leader. Get the strategies you need in order to ask the right questions, motivate the new-to-you-team, identify and attack the right problems, invest your energy in core systems, increase your output, and bring out the best in you and your team.
