Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader

by Herminia Ibarra

Book Summary

Herminia Ibarra’s influential exploration into leadership development challenges the traditional notion that one must first change their mindset before altering their behaviors. Instead, she posits that lasting growth as a leader arises when individuals step out of their usual roles, experiment with new behaviors, and adapt their thinking in response to these experiences. This approach, grounded in research and real-world examples, offers practical strategies for professionals seeking to advance into more impactful leadership positions. The book provides a roadmap for embracing uncertainty, leveraging diverse networks, and redefining one’s identity to align with evolving responsibilities.
