Becoming a Leader Nine Elements of Leadership Mastery

About a year ago, my publisher, Taylor and Frances Group ask me to write an update to Applied Leadership Development: Nine Elements of Leadership Mastery. I co-authored the book in 2015 with Leanne Atwater. My response was, “Hell would freeze over before I was ever involved in writing another book.” Well, I guess hell is covered with ice because on September 26th the newly revised book will be published.

Although the leadership concepts in the new book are the same as the first edition, Leanne and I updated a lot of context and we reoriented the book to individuals interested in personal development rather than the original objective of a textbook being a learning guide for students at universities.

To signify the new focus we also (1) changed the title to Becoming A Leader: Nine Elements of Leadership Mastery, and (2) the publisher cut the price of the book in half, from $59.95 to $29.95.

The book is currently available for pre-order at https://www.routledge.com/Becoming-a-Leader-Nine-Elements-of-Leadership-Mastery/Bolea-Atwater/p/book/9780367478346.

The pre-order price has been discounted to $23.96.

The book is part of a series of leadership books stewarded by two distinguished editors, Ronald E. Riggio, Ph.D., and Georgia Sorenson, Ph.D. I thought you might be interested in the Forward they included in the new book.

What happens when you pair an accomplished business leader with a noted leadership scholar? The answer is you get Applied Leadership Development – a guide to personal leader development that is out of the ordinary. When we began this book series, Leadership: Research and Practice, we had in mind exactly what this book embodies: a book that moves our knowledge and understanding of leadership forward in a practical way, but one that is also thoroughly grounded in the research literature.

As a result, Applied Leadership Development has been so successful that we are publishing this revised edition.

Author Al Bolea is a retired executive with considerable leadership experience. Drawing on his extensive career accomplishments and observations, he created the J-Curve model that is an extraordinarily useful roadmap for both the development of a leadership team and for personal leader development. Scholar Leanne Atwater supports Bolea’s observations and his model by drawing connections to research on leadership and leader development – adding the “why” to the “what.”

You will find this book to be lively, engaging, and extremely useful for individuals who are in leadership positions or those aspiring to lead. Students of leadership will see the development and applications of leader competencies, behaviors, and principles, which are clearly illustrated by Al Bolea’s experiences and observations. No wonder the first edition of this book was so successful.
