Contagious Leadership helps managers be prepared to lead and be better leaders . Whether a newly promoted leader or a veteran of leadership, no one wants to appear as if they were a manager who was promoted, but not prepared, and no employee wants to fall victim to a leader's trial and error version of learning. With Contagious Leadership, you will be both prepared and effective. In fact, the 10 steps within Contagious Leadership enable you to develop employees who stay longer, complain less, and produce more, and help you to develop your own skills in the area of communication, coaching, recognition, expectations, the making of mistakes, and the sharing of respect with those you lead. With humorous anecdotes and clear instructions, Contagious Leadership is a manual for you and the entire team of people you have the privilege of leading...even if that team primarily consists of just the voices in your head. Oh wait... you do talk to yourself, don't you?
