Leaders are born to be made
It takes a lifetime of learning to lead. But who has time to wait? Most managers weren’t born knowing how to lead, who leaders are, and what leaders really do. But it’s not their fault. This book delivers research-based, scientifically proven, low-risk, high-reward ways to make executives and managers better leaders? In an age of an ever-escalating war for talent, training leaders has never been more critical in the history of business.
Within every human is a leader capable of leading other humans. The more leaders we have—and the better those leaders perform—the greater return on investment we receive from our leader assets. The right leaders make it easier for the organization to fill jobs with the correct people, retain top talent, and keep employees fully engaged. Today, this is no easy feat, and paying higher wages isn’t the answer. When it comes to attracting and retaining better employees, it comes down to leaders fostering positive relationships at work.
Leaders Are Born To Be Made the book presents Dr. Bryan Deptula’s Leader M.U.S.C.L.E. model. This model includes the most critical elements for leadership excellence, organizational productivity, and individual well-being. Leader M.U.S.C.L.E. was developed through extensive proprietary research and real-world application and is a proven training program used by thousands of employees worldwide across diverse industries and company sizes. It empowers leaders to navigate the complexities of the post-pandemic conditions to create a healthy productive leadership practice.
Bryan Deptula, Ph.D. wrote this book to empower you to take control of your present and future and give you practical wisdom to improve your life and leadership. Leaders Are Born To Be Made is written by someone who has been in your shoes and lived the best and worst parts of a leader’s life. Why do I do it? Because I care, and you should care, too. Because I want you—and you should want for yourself—your employees and your organization to be better, more profitable, live your best life, and become your best-self.
This book focuses on three intersecting critical junctures: the pandemic, emergence of Artificial Intelligence, and neuron-leadership. The pandemic wasn’t just a health crisis; it was a workplace transformation. Everyone is learning to lead again, because everything we knew about leadership has to be applied in ways that we never imagined. Smart leaders leverage AI to improve their leadership while keeping the human touch. Emerging research on the impact of neurotransmitters, biological and social elements of leadership allow us to create a revolutionary leader development system.
The pandemic forced us to confront a harsh truth: We had become weak leaders who relied on familiar tactics that made us feel strong but were ill-suited for the challenges of the 21st century. Clinging to outdated leadership models no longer serves us. In Leaders Are Born To Be Made, Dr. Deptula encourages everyone to lead and offers proper nutrition (food for thought in this book) and exercises (application strategies) to build Leader M.U.S.C.L.E., to become leaders worth following.
