Gawain ng Tunay na Manager: Mag book review (Mark Sarte)

The Confident Leader

The Confident Leader written by Larina Kase is a great read for those wishing to draw out their leadership potential or else just want to improve their leadership skills. The book is divided into two parts. First, it discusses the six growth steps used by confident leaders. Second, it shows how leaders can turn problems into opportunities

It is gives out the always-important idea that leaders should first learn to grow for themselves before they can grow others. The six growth steps given here are logical in their order to help achieve leaders o help grow themselves. These six growth steps are: Get your exceptional vision, Realize your commitment, Organize your team, Win with the right decisions, Turn anxiety into optimal energy and, Harness your strengths and Release Control.

Honestly, this book is quite thick if you’re a student who is working on his/her thesis and just don’t have the time to read. But still, you learn a lot from his book like what happened with me that could help in the smooth flow within a thesis group. The most important thing that I found here is to turn your weaknesses into strenghts. It doesn’t mean that if you are weak at somethging you automaticallly don’t do it. It means getting out of your comfort zone and make your weakness complement your strenght.

The confident leader is a book that has a n excellent framework on how to grow as a leader. Not only this, it also helps you grow as an individual. Many practicing managers now would surely find this book helpful as various organizational scenarios are given wherein we can see that scenario happening to ourself and just now fully realizing what it means.
