Intentional Leadership
12 Lenses for Focusing Strengths, Managing Weaknesses, and Achieving Your Purpose
About the book
Jane A. G. Kise argues that many executives with a clear purpose still lack self-knowledge and miss the limits that come with their strengths, which can damage both their work and the respect of the people they lead. Her answer is the 12 Lenses for Leadership, a framework built on research into personality type and emotional intelligence that draws together the core tasks and attitudes of successful leaders. The book shows how personality type shapes decisions, how to measure personal strengths and values against good leadership practice, and how to find weaknesses and blind spots. Kise's goal is leaders whose actions line up with their purpose.
