Picture Yourself a Leader is a problem solver’s guidebook that reveals common human stumbles and offers a hand to lift you up with engaging, illustrated vignettes of personal and professional experiences. Hone your leadership skills by recognizing your growth opportunities and be inspired to not just face them but overcome them while learning from others who have been there and persevered.
With decades of leadership lessons from the field, Elisabeth Swan uses her storytelling and illustration skills to bring her own missteps—and the stumbles of others—to life. Having shared each adventure with her professional community, she adds select insights to each lesson, and challenges readers to experiment with their own habits.
The book makes clear that the word leader can mean many things. Leaders aren’t necessarily associated with a slot on an organizational chart. Leading a life, family, or work team makes you a leader, and you can lead from anywhere. There are influential problem solvers who may not consider themselves leaders, yet they are. And there are leaders who don’t see that problem solving is their primary purpose, but it is.
Elisabeth’s collection of insights, challenges and opportunities offers invaluable guidance on how to work with others more effectively while illuminating how we influence others—knowingly or not. Each chapter invites the reader to recognize themselves and their potential as leaders regardless of whether it’s in their personal life or at work. The book provides pathways to help leaders pave better avenues for themselves, and with each challenge, Elisabeth adds curated advice and experience from leaders, authors, practitioners, and experts, broadening the conversation by adding alternative viewpoints, lived experience, and potential solutions.
Structured as an informal guide, the micro-lessons offer practical ways to improve how we think and act, with prompts for readers to consider in bite-sized portions.
Unlike other leadership and problem-solving books, Picture Yourself a Leader offers a welcomed departure from mainstream literature with its use of illustrations that the brain recognizes tens of thousands of times faster than text. Each story provides a quick exploration of a recognizable foible, showcasing the reality that we are all flawed human beings trying to be our best selves, falling into intangible potholes as we work with other people.
Expect to explore topics such as:
- Why it’s hard to listen.
- Why giving people credit can shift the culture.
- How facts and data don’t move hearts and minds.
- How culture is a contact sport and you can participate.
- Why silos are tribes that you can unite.
The book’s origins are rooted in structured problem solving.
Drawing on the problem-solving format of Continuous Improvement, Operational Excellence, Toyota Kata, Lean, and Six Sigma, this book applies the underpinnings of these methods to solving leadership issues. Regardless of the title, the approaches are grounded in systematic observation and experimentation to solve complex issues or achieve objectives when the solution is unknown.
Drawing on the problem-solving format makes it easy for readers to test new behaviors, adjust them, and then hone what works best. It’s a low-risk way for people to get the most out of themselves. Whether you approach it with structure or not—and regardless of the label—problem solving is something every human being engages in on some level every day.
This book is for professionals looking to build more innovative cultures. It’s a great companion for individuals looking to address the people-centric stumbles they’d like to overcome. It’s a great guide to return to—again and again—as new challenges arise. Beginners, seasoned professionals, and anyone in between can benefit from this book."Riassunto" può appartenere a un’altra edizione di questo titolo.

Diritto di recesso
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
