ABOUT LEADERSHIP SHOCK
Leadership Shock can strike even the most seasoned professionals when they take on a new role. The principles and behaviors that brought past success suddenly stop working, leaving leaders feeling overwhelmed and ineffective.
In Leadership Shock, executive coach Pete Steinberg draws on decades of experience guiding leaders through major transitions. Using real-world case studies, Pete outlines the warning signs of leadership shock and a proven methodology to overcome it. Steinberg introduces the authentic leadership model—a framework for leaders to examine their purpose, role expectations, vision, and approach in order to reset priorities and redefine their leadership style.
Leadership Shock teaches readers to view leadership as an adaptive, continuous process. By regularly re-evaluating their leadership models, professionals at any level can proactively evolve their principles and behaviors to thrive in new environments. With insightful stories and practical exercises, this book provides the self-awareness and tools leaders need to recover from shock and lead with authenticity.
