VillaRuffo said Best one yet!!!. Best one yet!!! I’ve read all three of Kaplan’s books and while all give you the feeling of having him by your side as a personal mentor, his most recent book What You Really Need To Lead: The Power of Thinking And Acting Like An Owner, really puts the onus on you. As in his previous books, he continues to give you the tools to effectively put his lessons into practice through his suggested follow-up steps.Kaplan reminds us that being a leader isn’t some far-fetched idea left to the lucky few with an innate set of characteristics or ability to inspire.

He asks probing questions, provides exercises, and suggests concrete follow-up steps that will help you develop your skills, create new habits, and move you toward reaching your unique leadership potential. It requires a process of hard work, willingness to ask questions, and openness to learning. Kaplan tells real-life stories from his own experience of working with various types of leaders seeking to improve their effectiveness and make their organizations more successful. Leadership is not a destination or a state of being. Perhaps you think that you need to hold an important job
