Typical business organizations are humming with activities in various areas to develop products and service customer needs. Organizations are filled with value stream leaders, managers, directors, and vice presidents across various functions. These are individuals working at various levels and processes to achieve metrics and business targets. How does a growth-minded individual know if she or he is making a difference to the team and the business?

In this book, Sundar Ananthasivan outlines the concept of a leadership quotient matrix and identifies four stages of leadership evolution in a typical business organization. He identifies the typical tasks at each leadership stage and outlines the actions needed by the individual to evolve to the next stage. Ananthasivan explains how self-awareness, reflection, and empowerment are key elements of leadership in building strong teams and engendering trust. He emphasizes the concepts of impact and engagement as key differentiators in the leadership evolution of not only an individual growing from a subject matter expert into a more formal business leader but also for any leader who is growing from one stage to the next.

This book provides actionable techniques to assess an individual's leadership stage and help evolve it to the next level. It quantifies leadership in a business into four clear stages and guides the individual in steps for preparing for the next stage. If you are an individual seeking leadership growth in your business or a mentor trying to encourage an associate's growth or an HR partner seeking to help an associate understand self-awareness and empowerment in their leadership journey or preparing a student to understand leadership growth patterns in business, read Leadership Perspectives.
