The Self-Evolved Leader: Elevate Your Focus and Develop Your People In a World That Refuses to Slow Down

In a world where everything is urgent, our leaders are being drawn into a dangerous cycle of saving the day and pulling victory from the jaws of defeat. Although valiant on the surface, this ends in burnout for them and learned helplessness in their people.

In this timely and easy-to-read book, leadership consultant and speaker Dave McKeown draws on his experience of working with thousands of leaders in fast-growing organizations and lays out a compelling argument for stopping this cycle of mediocrity. In its place, McKeown implores readers to reset their understanding of where their value comes from. Namely, that instead of knowing the answers and solving their teams' emergencies, they should elevate their focus to the medium- and long-term direction of their teams and development of their people. 

Written for leaders from the front line to the C-Suite, The Self-Evolved Leader will show you how to: 

• Stop working in the weeds and think more strategically
• Find more time to focus on the important work
• Build empowerment deep in your team
• Free up your headspace to be more creative
• Deliver lasting results for your team and organization

With a deep understanding of today's hyper-busy world, McKeown lays out the key challenges facing leaders in fast-moving organizations and the need to move away from prevalent yet outdated and often detrimental models and methods.
