Scott Campbell, Ellen Samiec, "5-D Leadership: Key Dimensions for Leading in the Real World"

Corporate America lavishes over USD10 billion-a-year on leadership training, and executive offices are jam-packed with hundreds of books on the topic. So why aren't leaders effectively leading? Despite an unprecedented focus on leadership development, there remains an ever-widening chasm between the flexible leadership organizations require and the one-dimensional skills leaders too often bring to today's complex business challenges. 5-D Leadership closes that gap by exposing the realities of what it takes to be a successful leader: a continual shifting between various leadership approaches, to respond to whatever each unique situation demands. Bringing together real-world examples - from Harley-Davidson to Nestle, Rudy Giuliani to Shackleton's Antarctic expedition - Campbell and Samiec explore the five key leadership dimensions employed by the most successful leaders today: commanding, visioning, enrolling, relating, coaching. With profiled studies of seven common business challenges - rapid growth to sudden crises - they detail when and how to use each dimension and the concrete actions required to achieve specific strategic objectives. 5-D Leadership includes plenty of self-assessment and planning tools as it takes current and aspiring leaders alike on a journey of self-awareness to help them discover their dominant leadership dimension, identify and leverage the strengths they already possess, and apply their skills and talents to lead effectively in whatever situation they face.

Summary: A GREAT GUIDE FOR DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP SKILLS.

Rating: 5

This book stands out among the many on the subject of leadership by providing a clear framework of 5 dimensions (tools), each with strategic objectives and appropriate contexts for their application. The dimensions are further made applicable by specific core building blocks (actions to take), made more meaningful by distinguishing between the intention behind the action and the manner in which it is carried out. Numerous tools are provided to help the reader develop leadership competencies, flexibly using the 5 dimension framework. Central to the authors' approach is the use of dimensions to suit specific situations; chapter 8 provides an overview of seven common business contexts and their appropriate leadership dimensions. The book also helps you identify the size of the gaps between leadership dimensions you have and those your current context requires; the next chapter offers a four-step process for overcoming large gaps. The authors also explore ways to apply your strengths in unique ways that fit the demands of your business/organizational context. This is a highly valuable book that is well written and organized. It may be extremely useful not only for those who want to strengthen their leadership skills, but for those who train and coach others in the art of effective leadership. Very highly recommended.
