      Change Now! Five Steps to Better Leadership - Peter Scisco

      INTRODUCTION

      MAKE CHANGES

      FOR YOURSELF. FOR OTHERS. FOR THE FUTURE.

      What brought you to where you are now probably won't take you to where you want to go.

      If you want to reach the next level of performance or leadership,

      now is the time to DEVELOP,

      the time to GROW.

      Now is the time to CHANGE.

      The FIVE STEPS in this book will help you achieve the changes you seek.

      You will identify where to focus your development energy.

      You will create goals that work for you.

      You will craft a plan for achieving your goals.

      You will learn how to anticipate and overcome obstacles.

      And you'll figure out how to stay on course.

      Successful people have the ability to adapt. They thrive because they change.

      You can be one of them.

      Don't wait.

      Follow the steps in this book and

      CHANGE NOW!

      1: PICK AN AREA FOR CHANGE

      FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS

      ON WHAT CAN BE DIFFERENT

      AND WHAT YOU CAN DO

      BETTER

      PICK

      AN AREA

      FOR

      CHANGE

      THINK different.

      ACT different.

      BE DIFFERENT.

      DO

      WHAT

      YOU

      DO. AND DO IT BETTER.

      Change. Now.

      Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. Sail away from the safe harbor.

      ~Mark Twain

      The kind of leader you are is the kind of leader you want to be.

      What kind of leader do you want to be?

      What do you want to do better?

      What do you want to do more of?

      What do you want to do differently?

      It's hard to give ONE answer to these questions. But if you want to change how you lead, start by focusing on a SINGLE area of development.

      (Just one.)

      Don't just pick any area for change.

      (Pick carefully.)

      And remember THREE things:

      1 FOCUS ON A CHANGE THAT ENERGIZES YOU.

      2 FOCUS ON A CHANGE THAT CREATES POSITIVE OUTCOMES.

      3 FOCUS ON A CHANGE THAT IS AT THE RIGHT LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY - NOT SO EASY THAT YOU DON'T FEEL CHALLENGED, AND NOT SO DIFFICULT THAT YOU CAN'T MAKE THE
