Synopsis

Become a passionate, purposeful, and meaningful leader through identifying who you are, your strengths, and your skills.

New York Times bestselling author Stedman Graham's Identity Leadership is a very personal and prescriptive guide that is based on his philosophy that a leader can't lead others until he can first lead himself-the more he works on himself -- the more he can give to those around him. To know our purpose in life, we begin with our passions, skills, and talents, and with this book we learn how to channel the best of who we are to achieve success for ourselves and those we lead.

In Identity Leadership, Graham examines why self-awareness matters, how leaders lead, the importance of communication, and much more. He then shows the reader how to step into their role as a leader and create their identity leadership plan. Key to the journey is believing in yourself, knowing your competence, continually challenging yourself, and being patient with yourself. Graham uses anecdotes from his own life, as well as discussing successful leaders, to illustrate the importance of identity leadership in each of our lives.

Self-leaders can create a roadmap that leads to personal growth, development, and improvement of performance in every area of life. Identity Leadership provides the tools-self-awareness, emotional intelligence, discipline, and more-needed to continually plan and execute learning and development of our talents and skills. These tools enable readers to commit to a personal vision and lead with purpose.

Goodreads review by Monnie on January 29, 2013

Partly because my undergraduate degree is in psychology, partly because I'm a classic Type A personality and partly because I'm a want-to-know-it-all Aries, I've always had an interest in self-help books - or at least that was the case back when I had full-time jobs and always looking at the next ru......more

Goodreads review by Robert on March 09, 2013

One of the things I love about reading is that it forces me to get my head out of the problems of the day and into the topic of the book. The best books are the ones that make that switch happen easily. I did not give this book five stars because it's a magical golden bullet in the quest for identity......more

Goodreads review by Heidi on January 26, 2019

3.5 Stars....seriously, Goodreads needs to allow for the 1/2 star. So, I did like this book because it discusses the concept of identity and how to tease it out by self-awareness through the process of answering questions, creating your vision, create a plan, determine the characteristics that will......more

Really great reference book for understanding how to take your weaknesses in life and see them as gifts that hopefully you have learned from and use them for the benefit of others. Great book for helping put their own lives in perspective.......more

Goodreads review by Alain on October 02, 2012

"Identity: Your Passport To Success" by Stedman Graham is an interesting look, with many case studies and examples, on how we identify our own identity and what that means in relation to our success in life. I enjoyed reading this book, and I made me pause and ponder my own identity. The basis of the......more


Quotes

"Stedman Graham teaches the essence of leadership in his workshops. Leadership is not about product, but people and relationships. Stedman takes [people] to the next level in their careers by helping them to understand what is truly important to them. So many people operate without an idea as to where they are going. His programs put the individual in control of his or her career and life."—Jim Cimino, Executive Vice President, Regional Managing Director, Southwest Region - Wells Fargo

"Stedman is an artist with unique communication skills that so effectively helped reach these individuals on levels that possibly they have never previously experienced, and I believe that the candor, openness of communication, "tough talk," and practical discussion on their skill development will lead to remarkable maturation and an appreciation of greater personal accountability and for their personal development."—Mike Fox, CEO of the Muhammad Ali Center

"Skillfully challenged a very accomplished gathering to deal with their history and habits. A cathartic experience that suggested a deeper understanding of who you are provides a roadmap for the next steps in your journey. Deduced from the definition of leadership: Leaders with a servant's heart, that do not manage from above (who manage from their identity) will provide the most effective leadership in the 21st century."—Mark D. Settles, Managing Director, Fixed Income, JP Morgan Asset Management

"SG is one of today's leading authorities on emotional intelligence (Identity Intelligence). Seminars are highly effective because they make you focus on the true leader within yourself."—David M. Reynolds, CMF, VP, Associate Director, Merrill Lynch
