The world has changed and continues to change at a rapid pace. People are much more aware of what is happening around them. The consumer revolution has accelerated dramatically. Nevertheless, something vital is missing from this change. Leadership has not adapted to the developments in the world. From boardrooms to classrooms, leadership faces daily challenges, but now a new model of leadership is emerging. Dr. Covey introduces the four roles of the new leader - modeling, guidance, alignment, and empowerment - and how these qualities can change you and your organization. He discusses how trust can be lost in organizational contexts and how it is imperative for trust to be restored if the organization wants to survive. Covey also shows how one can transform from a 'wanting to' to a 'can do' and how this change can completely transform individuals and organizations.

Through his ideas, you will discover how to:

• Use the four vital roles to establish trust and make growth a given.
• Create and maintain an atmosphere of respect and transparency.
• Retain and inspire your most talented employees.
• Implement creative collaboration to achieve new levels of performance.
• Develop leadership at all levels of your organization.
• Leverage strengths and offset weaknesses.
• Reduce cynicism and improve morale.
