The Leadership Machine
Michael M. Lombardo, Ed.D. and Robert W. Eichinger, Ph.D.
The Leadership Machine was designed to help you and your organization produce successive waves of take-your-breath-away managers and leaders—and give you and your organization a competitive edge. Mike Lombardo and Bob Eichinger wrote The Leadership Machine after countless requests from people who heard their presentations on leadership development.
The Leadership Machine is an easy-to-read handbook that’s useful at every stage of individual, supervisory, management, and executive development. The book provides what you need to know to develop yourself and others; describes the best practices in succession planning, 360° feedback, development systems, and assignment management; and reviews the research of successful—and unsuccessful—applications.
The Leadership Machine was designed for:
- Anyone interested in how people and leaders grow
- Human Resource professionals who want to be strategic business partners
- Supervisors and managers who want to be better developers and coaches
- Legacy leaders who want to win and leave their mark on the organization
- Individuals who want to grow and prosper
Note: The book is free of plugs for Lominger products. However, all of the products could be used to power your own or your firm’s Leadership Machine.
Excerpts from The Leadership Machine:
- “No one knows what specific challenges we will face in 2020, but we have a strong idea of what the leaders who can meet them will look like and how they will get to be that way.”
- “Competencies are the universal common denominator—they drive much of work and performance.”
- “Success isn’t just a matter of piling up wins. Quite often, it’s the wins that derail careers.”
- “If self-knowledge is the foundation of success, then the right on-the-job experiences are the building.”
- “Everyone wants to know the secret of success and there is one. It’s called: Continuously learning to do what you don’t know how to do.”
- “The current state of development should give us all heartburn.”
