Management in Balance
Not everyone is a natural when it comes to management. And yet, in many big companies and organizations, the “reward” for being a top performer and excelling in your current role is to be plunged into management—often with very little warning, and even less time to adjust to the vastly different job description and requirements.
If this describes your situation, you’ll find strategies, solutions, and much-needed guidance in Mike Lerario’s second book, Management in Balance. In these pages, he outlines the four essential domains of management—Time, Material, Risk, and Change—and shares how managers can introduce higher levels of efficiency into their systems and within their teams. He also discusses what it means to manage with balance, and why it’s important to do so, not only for the stability of the company but also for everyone in the heart of your organization.
Whether you’re a seasoned manager looking to grow and improve your performance, or you’ve recently been promoted to management and have no idea how to get started, Lerario’s book will bring you the confidence and clarity you need to succeed in your management position.
Leadership in Balance
Leadership in Balance is a groundbreaking perspective on leadership written primarily for emerging and high potential leaders. Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Mike Lerario, a successful commander in combat and in peacetime, introduces his Fulcrum-centric Leadership™ model and outlines simple but powerful strategies for success in any leadership situation, empowering leaders to find balance and achieve results.
The concept of Fulcrum-centric Leadership™ stems from Mike’s experiences in the military working with soldiers and as a consultant working with scientists, engineers and project managers. While most things in life can be described as binary—on or off; hard or soft; light or dark—those conditions are really the extreme ends of a domain and what happens in reality is usually found someplace in-between. The key to success as a leader is to find the balancing point between the extremes as the situation changes.
Mike explains the four critical leadership domains, teaches you to identify and understand your natural tendencies with the Leadership Fulcrum Assessment© and arms you with the knowledge and skills needed to “be the fulcrum”® as your leadership situation changes.
Leadership in Balance is available on Amazon or you can purchase it here directly. You can also begin your journey to better self-awareness by taking the Leadership Fulcrum Assessment© at the link in the menu bar.
