Leadership Lessons Inspired by a 6 Year Old

Leadership Lessons Inspired By a 6 Year Old is a leadership book based on a call center environment. This book speaks about the relationships of raising children and how they turn into valuable lessons of how to properly raise a team in the workplace. Joe will show how to effectively use objects to emphasize points through "Show and Tell." Joe brings lessons together by using real world analogous to reinforce his point in his book. Children are a blessing and the lessons learned when raising them can turn into valuable team lessons. Step into my everyday life of raising children and how these lessons can be turned into leadership lessons. Join me through the journey of raising children while leveraging experiences into the workplace. One may not first relate fatherhood and leadership in the same sentence but I have learned first hand there is a relationship that exists. Joseph's last chapter entitled, "The Darkest Hour" was added at the last minute and brings the purpose of the book to true meaning. Learn why we all must fight and conquer our darkest times in our lives. This last chapter speaks why the book was almost not written. I first stepped into the technical support industry in the year 2000. Over the course of time I've had many roles such as Website Developer, Sales Manager, Technical Support Analyst, Trainer, and eventually into a leadership role. Earlier in my career it was evident that I would continue in a technical role. My favorite role was training people and the ability to teach others and see the progression and difference I made in their life. For me the biggest payoff was for others seeing that I had more potential in what I was capable of. It's when you take it upon yourself to take on more is how success will find you. Leadership started for me in 2009 when I emerged from being a technical support analyst and stepping into a leadership role. Any new leader knows this can be scary times going from an individual contributor and stepping into a leadership role. During the same year, I was blessed with the birth of my daughter Ursula McGee in August of 2009. One may not first relate fatherhood and leadership in the same sentence but I have learned first hand there is a relationship that exists. As time has moved forward and years have grown many lessons and questions have come from my daughter. In raising my daughter, the transparencies of raising a daughter and molding a team are very similar. I'm proud to share these leadership lessons that have helped me shape me as a leader by raising my daughter and using the same lessons in the workplace. Step into my shoes and learn new ways and techniques as a manager to develop and challenge your team. After reading the book you will gain a further understanding of the following: - Learn It, Teach It, Apply It Principle - Influencing change through objects and story telling. - How not to have Tunnel Vision - Simplicity is best. What Defines me is a must. - Building Confidence and more dynamic teams - And much more... Are you ready?
