Description - Everyone a Leader by Horst Bergmann

Imagine if every employee does what it takes to help his or her
organization reach its goals, a place where everyone is a
leader.

If chaos and confusion come to mind, think again! Spreading
leadership and decision-making responsibilities liberates,
inspires, and motivates everyone to achieve more and contribute the
maximum-making a positive impact on both productivity and business
results.

Step in, CLIMB(TM) up.

Based on a landmark study that involved 2,000 people across 450
organizations, Everyone A Leader explores the critical moments when
employees at all levels step forward into leadership roles. The
findings are summarized in five key strategies the authors call the
CLIMB model of leadership effectiveness:

* Create a compelling future.

* Let the customer drive the organization.

* Involve every mind.

* Manage work horizontally.

* Build personal credibility.

Each chapter in this breakthrough book brings the CLIMB strategies
to life with powerful first person stories and anecdotes that
effectively highlight the small, often-overlooked turning points in
an organization's daily life. Turning points made possible by
grassroots leaders.

The CLIMB model's step-by-step tools for grassroots leaders build
competencies such as presenting thoughts and ideas, listening
proactively, giving recognition, managing priorities, turning
conflict into collaboration, identifying and meeting unspoken
customer needs, and many, many more.

No other book offers such compelling proof that-equipped with
proper tools and support-everyone has the potential to be a leader
and to make a difference. To remain agile and responsive in today's
dynamic global marketplace, successful organizations recognize the
critical need for greater flexibility, knowledge, and adaptability
across the entire organization. To do so means everyone must learn
to be a leader.

"Everyone A Leader explodes the myth that only people with official
titles, big salaries, and high profiles mobilize others to get
extraordinary things done. It makes the compelling case-backed by
research and inviting anecdotes-that leaders emerge from all levels
in all types of organizations. . . . You will learn how to make
more of a difference once you've read and applied Everyone A
Leader. This stellar book is not only a significant contribution to
the field, it's also a rallying cry for all of us to leave a more
lasting legacy." -Jim Kouzes, coauthor, The Leadership Challenge
and Chairman, Tom Peters Group/Learning Systems.

"This work skillfully distills hundreds of observed experiences
into a five-part strategic model, highlighting those behaviors most
likely to produce successful leadership results. Both emerging and
experienced leaders . . . can learn from Everyone A Leader. It
offers a pragmatic roadmap for success!" -Major General Garry L.
Parks, U.S. Marine Corps.

"Everyone A Leader is cause for rejoicing. The authors understand
the key reality shaping today's organizations: leaders can emerge
from anywhere. Their book is an invaluable tool . . . full of wise
observations and practical advice." -Sally Helgesen, author, The
Web of Inclusion.

"Everyone A Leader is a wonderfully actionable guide for creating a
broad, take charge, leadership culture." -Ron Zemke, author, the
Knock Your Socks Off Service series.

"If you want co-workers who are productive, satisfied, and willing
to shoulder the responsibility of making your organization
stronger, this timely and inspiring nuts-and-bolts account of
democratic leadership is for you." -Meena Surie Wilson, PhD, Global
Initiatives Group, Center for Creative Leadership.

organizations . . . This is the model." -Todd W. Arnold, Vice
