The key to effective leadership is being fit for the challenge. Leadership is a perpetual boxing match in many respects in which preparation, stamina and skill are required. Only the strongest survive. Every decision and tollgate along the career journey is laden with risk. Those leaders who harness risk to their advantage will land the knockout punch in every fight. The only question is how many leaders will be fit enough for the challenge?

The purpose of this book is to provide insight on how risk impacts every aspect of leadership, including the mundane, routine and nonglamorous aspects of leadership. This is important because often the small things can easily turn into big disruptors. Moreover, the end goal is to equip leaders with a journey map and quick guide to win in high-risk environments. Change is the new normal and only constant in today's world. As change increases, so will risk and its subsequent impacts on humanity. This includes leaders, organizations and customers. No one is exempt.

In this book, readers learn how to:

  • Determine which career battles to fight and which ones to avoid
  • Prepare to fight the unavoidable challenges along the career journey
  • Leverage risk to choose the right leaders for the team
  • Leverage risk to invest time wisely and avoid wasting it
  • Leverage risk to predict, identify and resolve leadership burnout
  • Risk assess leadership credentials so only those that produce a return are added to the portfolio
  • Risk assess performance outcomes so the path ahead is smooth sailing instead of a rough ride
  • Leverage risk so high performance is a reality instead of a pipe dream
  • Leverage risk to find the right leadership sponsor
  • Fit for the Leadership Challenge
