SheLeads: Optimizing Leadership Through Strategic Training, Coaching & Mentorship

In order to lead effectively and impactfully, leaders must invest in strategic capacity building for proper molding of the needed mindset and skillset. If this fails to happen, no attempt at leadership will yield the needed results. Leadership incompetence (which is either a total lack of, or partial possession of leadership capability or the inability to execute leadership functions well) remains one of the biggest challenges of leadership today. It matters that those who aspire to lead are not only highly passionate or motivated for leadership but are capable of effectively undertaking leadership functions.

Now that we are seeing a growing number of women taking up more and more leadership roles, women leaders and those who want to lead must realize the need and power to build the necessary leadership capacities if they will be impactful in their leadership. They must realize the importance of strategic coaching, training, and mentorship. Whether born with natural predispositions for leadership or not, the place of training, coaching, and mentorship cannot be ignored. The foundation for good leadership is proper training and mentorship.

This book is a compilation of insights, lessons and recommendations from astute women leaders, coaches, trainers and mentors who have drawn from their experience as leaders, and practice as trainers. Through it, the authors aptly demonstrate the power of strategic training, coaching, and mentorship in optimizing women’s leadership.
