Description: Spark by Angie Morgan, Courtney Lynch, Sean Lynch From three leadership experts with military backgrounds, a blueprint for discovering "sparks" within the corporate ranks FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description From the team behind the corporate leadership consulting firm Lead Star—three leadership experts with military backgrounds—comes the New York Times bestseller Spark, "a myth-destroying book that will make you rethink both the theory and practice of leadership" (Daniel H. Pink).Leadership is not about job titles—its about action and behavior. "Sparks" are the doers, thinkers, innovators, and key influencers who are catalysts for personal and organizational change. But these extraordinary individuals arent defined by the place they hold on an organizational chart—they are defined by their actions, commitment, and will. Leadership experts Angie Morgan, Courtney Lynch, and Sean Lynch show how you can become a Spark by cultivating seven key leadership behaviors. Grounded in the latest research on leadership development, this fresh, accessible road map is packed with real-world stories from inside companies like Facebook, Google, and Boston Scientific, and from the authors own high-stakes, challenging experiences serving in the US Armed Forces. With Spark as a blueprint, anyone can become a catalyst for change, and any organization can identify and develop Sparks.Featuring a Foreword by Frederick W. Smith, founder, chairman and CEO of FedEx Author Biography The authors run Lead Star, a consulting firm focusing on corporate leadership. COURTNEY LYNCH has a law degree from the William and Mary Law School, and ANGIE MORGAN has an MBA from the University of Michigan. Both are former Marines. SEAN LYNCH is a Yale alumnus and former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot. Review "SPARK is a myth-destroying book that will make you rethink both the theory and practice of leadership. In a straightforward and direct way, the authors show that leading is a choice, that values and actions must be in sync, and that being of service is the ultimate touchstone of genuine leadership. Whatever your job title or circle of influence, this book can help you light your own spark." --Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of DRIVE and TO SELL IS HUMAN "If you truly want to become a Spark in your organization and in your life, I urge you to read this book now." --Mike "Coach K" Krzyzewski - Head Coach, Duke University Mens Basketball "Its remarkable how these three can-do individuals have pooled their hard-earned management insights into a winning book that can quickly elevate anyone in business to greater heights." --Alison Levine, international leadership expert and bestselling author of ON THE EDGE "Winning performance is dependent on sparks, those rare individuals within your organization who get things done and then some.
