Developing Effective Leadership in Organizations
A Competency-Based Approach Focused on Keys to Performance
The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born -- that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.
-Warren G. Bennis
Do you aspire to move forward in your career? Do you own your own business? Do you want to be a leader in your organization? Are you responsible for helping others to develop their leadership competencies and reach their potential?
This book is for you!
This book is intended for individuals who want to develop their leadership competencies and those responsible for developing talent in their organizations. It follows a structured competency-based method to building knowledge and skills by following a systematic and proven approach.
Although the book is directed at individuals, faculty teaching in university and college leadership programs as well as trainers in organizations will find it useful as a text or guide to bridge theory and practice.
People in organizations who just want to learn and study more about leadership can use the book as a self-paced guide for workshops and seminars or learn-at-lunch programs.
As you proceed through the content and associated learning activities, it is helpful to apply what you learn to an organization that you are familiar with. This will help you better understand the concepts, as well indicate areas for potential organizational improvement.
This book utilizes the U.S. Department of Commerce - National Institute of Standards and Technology's Malcolm Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence as its basis for design. All the major chapters of this book are aligned with Baldrige's seven primary criteria areas:
- + Building Leadership Competence
- + Facilitating Strategic Planning
- + Finding and Retaining Customers
- + Leadership Tools: Data and Measurement
- + How to Attract and Develop Employees
- + Managing Operations and Quality
- + Leading for Innovation and Results
If the areas look familiar, you are probably thinking that these same areas are typically associated with an MBA program. You are right. Some have referred to studying the content of this book as pursuing a Mini-MBA.
Structured Learning
All our books and workbooks align with the Centrestar research-based Competency Model. The model, which is rooted in work by the U.S. Department of Labor and others, gives you a framework for structured learning by helping you identify and develop specific competencies.
Competencies are sets of skills, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors that are observable and measurable. Our model has 35 competency dimensions associated with successful performance in leadership and professional roles. Competencies are clustered into five domains that may overlap.
This Developing Effective Leadership in Organizations guidebook focuses on all the competency areas associated with the Organizational Leadership competency cluster or domain. For more information or visit: www.centrestar.com

Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
