The Preface of Leaders Open Doors, 2nd Edition describes what inspired author Bill Treasurer to write this book. Chapter 1 introduces the concept of open-door leadership, or leadership that creates opportunity for others.
Great leadership is not hierarchical, but rather dependent on people who are willing and able to lead an initiative to a desired outcome. The aim of this book is simple: to inspire you to open doors of opportunity for the people you lead. As Bill Treasurer so succinctly explains, effective leadership can only be grown in a setting where doors are opened, creativity and innovation are requirements, and employees stretch their own abilities and push against the organization's comfort zone. Solving problems is a small scale, closed-door approach. An open-door leader must focus on the outcome and opening the doors of opportunity to those that he or she employs. This book gives a simple and clear message—leaders don't measure success in terms of themselves; leaders measure success in terms of the outcomes they help other others achieve.
Target Audience:
This book will be especially useful if you are:
- new to the leadership ranks
- a seasoned executive, but feeling uninspired in your leadership role
- frustrated by the apathy and lack of motivation shown by your direct reports
- at the "give back" stage in your career, where helping others succeed is especially gratifying
- confused about the topic of leadership (maybe because of the glut of bloated leadership books!)
- wanting to be a better and more effective leader.
