You want to start working on the next steps in your career. Your boss made remarks in your last performance review that you want to take action on. You know now the kind of leader you aspire to be and want to pursue your aspirations. You have an "enduring weakness" that motivates you to improve. You feel bored or stale in your current job and want to develop new capabilities. If you've experienced those things or have had similar experiences, then you know that what makes you successful now won't take you to the next level of performance or leadership. Successful leaders have the ability to adapt, change, and reinvent themselves. They thrive on change. Do you? The FIVE STEPS in Change Now! will help you become the leader you aspire to be by guiding you through a process of change. Use this book to identify where to focus your development energy, create goals that work for you, craft a plan for achieving your goals, overcome obstacles, and stay on course. Don't wait. Become the leader you want to be, the leader you need to be.
