Leadership from the Inside Out

A Different View of Leadership Qualities

Just as most businesses are changing themselves to keep pace with a changing world, the qualities of leadership are also transforming to deal with today's realities. In Leadership from the Inside Out, author Kevin Cashman says growing as a person will help you grow as a leader. His ideas are different from those who say leadership is something we do rather than an expression of who we are. He shows us what to think and what to achieve, not how to think or how to achieve. Readers will find the most practical tool that enhances leadership is authentic self-expression that creates value.

Cashman, who is founder of LeaderSource, an international leadership and executive coaching firm, will take you on a reflective, interactive journey through seven pathways of mastery: Personal mastery, mastery of purpose, of being, of change, of interpersonal qualities, of balance, and of action. Essentially, he focuses on the mastery of life, rather than on the mastery of circumstances.

Three interesting segments are:

  1. What healthy, productive 100-year-olds can teach
  2. What happened to the life of leisure we were supposed to be living by now?
  3. Leading the flow of change - Survival of the "most aware".
The author speaks to a wide audience of leaders and soon-to-be leaders. He touches people's desire to fulfill their lives and create meaningful value in the world. Leadership from the Inside Out was the No. 1 best-selling business book in July 1998, according to Schwartz Business Books. More recently, it has been nominated as one of the top 10 business books for 1998.
