Over the past few months, I've had the good fortune of getting to know Allan Cox, advisor to the senior leadership of major corporations and author of the recently published Your Inner CEO. This is Allan's 8th business book, and an excellent, inspiring, and practical read for people that want to understand their inner leadership potential.
Here's what blogger Tom Pick said about this book in his review: "This isn't a book about tweaking marketing tactics or even setting grand strategyâ€"it's about changing your life in ways that make you a better leader, whether as a CEO, department manager, community leader or the head of a company of one. Cox...guides the reader to discover and become the leader that he or she truly is by finding the authentic self."
Allan and I have been conversing over the past few weeks and sharing ideas as he's launched Your Inner CEO and I've launched Wikipatterns, and in the process we've talked a lot about the wiki he's launching today:
- The most value in "Your Inner CEO" will be found in working through the ideas and exercises to discover your own answers. The wiki offers a spot where we've collected the exercises where you can work through them at your own pace. It's also a place where you can choose to share your insights and questions with others engaged in the same process.
- We're all called upon to exercise leadership in more settings and more circumstances. We hope this site can become a place where you can interact with others who are developing their own leadership capacity and share your discoveries and resources with them.
When you viist the wiki, here are two activites Allan suggests to help you get started:
- Tell us what brought you here and what you hope to gain
- Share your favor leadership quote or leadership story
