You Don't Need a Title to be a Leader

How Anyone, Anywhere, Can Make a Positive Difference

This book will help open your eyes to the potential of leadership.

True leadership isn’t about power over people; it is about power with people. This is a little book about a big idea, and that is how anyone regardless of title or lack thereof can make a positive difference. That means:

Acting with power and purpose, rather than acting bogged down by mindless activity.
Moving from simply interacting to relating by caring about others.
Focusing on the success of those around you rather than just your personal achievements.
Looking for opportunities to solve problems and create value.
Drawing on the power of shared values.

You Don’t Need a Title to be a Leader speaks to leaders at every level, both those with and without titles. The book focuses on six things that all leaders do to make a positive difference. If you want to learn how to lead, or you a leader looking for ways to lead better or teach others to lead, this book is for you.

About the Book

In You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader, Mark Sanborn, the author of the national bestseller The Fred Factor, shows how each of us can be a leader in our daily lives and make a positive difference, whatever our title or position.

Through the stories of a number of unsung heroes, Sanborn reveals the keys each one of us can use to improve our organizations and enhance our careers.

Genuine leadership – leadership with a “little l”, as he puts it, is not conferred by a title, or limited to the executive suite. Rather, it is shown through our everyday actions and the way we influence the lives of those around us.
