Leadership Solutions has an ideal blend of insights and practical tools that will make it essential reading for anyone trying to accelerate the development of leadership in their organization."-Marianne Hasold-Schilter, Senior Vice President, Leadership & Top Talent Management, Scotiabank"A significant work that is worth reading and re-reading. It combines clarity of thinking with the ability to be executed, resulting in value delivered each and every time"-Paul Lucas, President & CEO, GlaxoSmithKline Inc."Leadership Solutions delivers what the title promises. Moving from an analysis of the leadership gap, the book offers a holistic model of leadership then offers a realistic and practical pathway forward for dealing with the leadership gap. Specific steps for determining leadership requirements, measuring the gap, and acting to build capacity move this book beyond what a lot of other leadership books offer. I also very much like the finale of the book, with its emphasis on individual responsibilities for doing your part and shaping your future. While some great leaders may be born, the vast majority are 'made' and the first responsibility of any leader is to take responsibility for themselves."-Dr. Dan Ondrack, Professor and Academic Director - Executive Programs,Joseph L. Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto"Leadership Solutions offers the theory and practice that can enable holistic leadership to develop within a strategy-driven organization. Today, the need for leadership transcends traditional functional expertise and hierarchical structures.
