Publisher's summary

The author of Expect To Win and Strategize To Win steps out with dynamic strategies for leaders of today and tomorrow.

Work has undergone a sea change, introducing a new matrix of concerns and questions for leaders and potential leaders. What does it take to lead effectively now? What does leadership even mean?

In this much-needed book, powerhouse Carla A. Harris examines the journey from individual contributor to leader. She targets the essential skills necessary to succeed, such as the importance of taking risks, creating a vision, and leveraging assets like relationships and partnerships. At the heart of this book are the eight things you must be intentional about every day—authenticity, building trust, creating other leaders, clarity, diversity, innovation, inclusivity, and voice—qualities that you need to hone and manifest to become a powerful, impactful leader no matter where you work. She also examines the key traits of being a transformational leader, focusing on the gaps she has seen in leadership that could impede or damage any leader’s effectiveness.

Timely, inspiring, and filled with Harris’s trademark practical advice, Lead to Win will become a touchstone for anyone looking to influence and lead others to make positive change.

For the nature of new leaders

the story and examples are great, I was able to associate with my own experiences. I consider myself a natural leader but did not have foundation or literature on things that I was already doing and this book helped me find out why, also helped me to level up my skills as well.

A book for all!

Great nuggets by Carla! She truly gave the message through the “to win” lens! Looking forward to taking the lessons with me though 2023!

Favorite quote: “How someone feels about you as a leader determines how they perform”

Is Everyone's Fingerprints on the Blueprint?

I came across this book in early 2023 after viewing one of Carla A. Harris' videos on instagram. I liked her quick message and decided to purchase her latest book "Lead to Win." The book arrived at the perfect time in my life because I was unexpectedly thrust into a leadership position. Carla provided great examples to support each lesson and I used them to develop my leadership skills.

One of my favorite lessons was how to include people you lead in planning and executing an objective. Carla advised to make sure everyone's fingerprint wos on the blueprint. You have to learn how to INVOLVE others in the INITIAL planning process so they feel connected and invested in the ultimate outcome. Many times, we create in a vacuum then dole out orders that we expect others to blindly follow. Many times, we could've created a better product if we INITIALLY sought the input of others who will be directly involved and expected to bring those ideas to fruition.

I've decided to lead in a way that includes key stake holders in the beginning phase of the planning process so we can achieve the best outcomes possible.

I highly recommend this book for every day leadership.

Impactful!

Great book for today's professional. I love the authors use of current events. In addition the examples of positive and negative leadership, provided more inspiration than just giving general guidelines.
