"Successful leaders don't rest on their laurels. Leadership must be a living process, not a title on a business card, and life means growth. As Ken Blanchard and Mark Miller write in the introduction, "the path to increased influence, impact, and leadership effectiveness is paved with personal growth ... Our capacity to grow determines our capacity to lead. It's really that simple." Great Leaders Grow shows leaders and aspiring leaders precisely which areas to focus on so they can remain effective throughout their lives.As the book opens, Debbie Brewster, an accomplished leader herself, becomes a mentor to Blake, her late mentor's son, as he begins his career. Debbie tells Blake, "How well you and I serve will be determined by the decision to grow or not. Will you be a leader who is always ready to face the next challenge? Or will you be a leader who tries to apply yesterday's solutions to today's problems? The latter will ultimately fail. The difference: the decision to grow. And not a short-term decision but a decision to grow throughout your career and throughout your life. This single decision is a game changer for leaders."Over the next several weeks Debbie reveals what this means in practical terms. She and Blake explore four ways that leaders must continue to grow, both on the job and off, because who you are as a leader is inextricably connected to who you are as a person. Whether you're a CEO or an entry-level employee, you'll be inspired to reflect on your own life and to design your own unique long-term growth plan, leading to not only continuing professional success but personal fulfillment as well.

Ending was kind of boring and quick but so many good tips and nuggets in between start to finish ( )

Growth is a keystone concept, one that is starting to show up everywhere, from Carol Dweck's work in psychology on what she termed a growth mindset to business and leadership books such as this. This is unsurprising, as growth is fundamental to life itself, as Blanchard and Miller rightly point out. In Blanchard's usual parable style, they show the importance of growing in several areas of life, from knowledge and skills to relationships (and if you're looking for more along these lines, I'd also recommend Me, Inc. by Scott W. Ventrella). And as usual, they effectively convey a lot of top-notch practicable content.

The only slight demur I have is to their heavy emphasis on serving others and being a "servant leader". There's nothing wrong with service per se of course, and I can interpret this in a way that's unproblematic. But the way the term is used in some social movements and religions comes with some baggage best steered clear of, so given my background I find it a bit creepy. But Blanchard and Miller don't seem to be pushing that kind of self-sacrificial rubbish, as they're all about personal growth and success.
