Her book: Six Paths to Leadership: Lessons from Successful Executives, Politicians, Entrepreneurs, and More

Whether just starting a career or an experienced professional, today’s leaders lack the skills needed for their particular journey. Drawn from interviews with more than 60 successful leaders (executives, politicians, entrepreneurs, and others), this book offers new critical insights and strategies for managing across six distinct paths to leadership positions.

Six Paths to Leadership: Lessons from Successful Executives, Politicians, Entrepreneurs, and More offers new, research-based critical insights and strategies for managing effectively across six distinct paths: (1) promoted; (2) hired; (3) elected; (4) appointed; (5) founded, and (6) family legacy. Each chapter provides information based on interviews with more than 65 leaders from a variety of career paths and backgrounds, including executives, politicians, high-level government appointees, founders, and family business leaders.

Individuals such as current and emerging leaders, HR professionals, researchers, politicians, career coaches, students (along with their support staff members) will benefit from the wide array of strategies and experiences detailed in this rich resource. The stories and themes herein are designed to help leaders—whether newly-minted or seasoned professionals—weigh factors that influence effectiveness, along with strategies, tools, and templates to help them adroitly navigate one or more of the six distinct leadership paths.
