No one is going to train you, guide you, or save you—but you already have everything you need to become a greater leader.

Millions of employees are promoted into leadership every year without being taught how to navigate pressure, influence others, or make difficult decisions. These “accidental leaders” quickly realize they’ll have to take matters into their own hands. The good news is that opportunities to develop their leadership skills are all around them. They simply need to learn how to recognize and use them.

Confessions of an Accidental Leader introduces The Greater Leadership Framework™, a practical system for becoming more effective, intentional, and consistent while developing a style that’s authentically yours. Through this insightful and approachable book, you’ll learn how to turn everyday experiences and observations into lasting leadership lessons through five steps:

• Stop and be present in the moment.
• Observe by listening to your gut and gathering data.
• Learn what you need to take away from the experience.
• Visualize yourself using the lessons in real-world situations.
• Execute by applying what you’ve learned.

Drawing on over thirty years of experience across five industries, executive coach Steve Baue brings his framework to life through accessible, candid, and humorous stories. With this step-by-step approach, you’ll develop a repeatable process for capturing—and applying—leadership lessons throughout your career.
