First-Time Leader: Foundational Tools for Inspiring and Enabling Your New Team Hardcover - 2014 - 1st Edition

by George B. Bradt; Gillian Davis


From the publisher

First-time leaders get motivational and planning tools from top executive coaching firms

The First-Time Leader provides basic frameworks, processes, and tools to help first-time leaders and their teams deliver better results faster. Leading is about inspiring and enabling others to do their absolute best, together, to realize a meaningful and rewarding shared purpose. Authors George Bradt, Managing Director of PrimeGenesis, and Gillian Davis, Managing Director of AlanKey, show how to achieve these results through the BRAVE acronym: Behaviors, Relationships, Attitudes, Values, Environment. Learn the three stages of team development, and get advice for specific leadership situations including onboarding yourself, onboarding others, and crisis management.

  • Offers a way of thinking about leadership and a structure for action to help first-time leaders lead at both overall conceptual and tactical levels
  • Includes downloadable tools that are easily adaptable for each leader's specific context
  • Contains illustrative examples and stories from a range of experienced leaders and experts to help guide first-time leaders through things they may not have experienced themselves

The First-Time Leader shows new leaders what to do next, later, never, why, and how. It's an indispensible guide for stepping up and inspiring others to come together for success.

Praise for First-Time Leader

"Incredible insight essential to leaders at all levels. I will refer back to these often."
--Jaime Mazza - Human Resource Manager

"This book will help first-time leaders be BRAVE and inspire others to be BRAVE through its worksheets, steps, acronyms, lists, insights, real life stories which really provide color commentary to the content, and even simple stuff like running meetings."
--Kris Adler - Program Manager

"BRAVE is very useful to apply to many different leadership challenges from setting strategy to crafting effective communication plans. Loved the stories."
--MaryBeth Schroeder - Director Talent Development and Internal Communication

"Combines crisp identification of critical leadership concepts with detailed and comprehensive resources to assist leaders (both new and experienced) of organizations of any size or function."
--Seth Gardner - Executive Director

"Where was this book as I cruised up the corporate ladder at P&G, PepsiCo and Paramount? First-Time Leader is the quintessential book for new leaders - written with clarity, conviction and common sense, foundational to helping new leaders and their teams deliver better results faster. We found George and Gillian's approach with B.R.A.V.E. and the three secrets of happiness as the new backbone for leadership and voted this book in our top 10 MUST read for this year! Make this book your North Star."
--Rick Tocquigny - Host Life Lessons Radio - "America's Favorite Lessons Show"
