New summary available for First-Time Leader

Sept. 26, 2014 - PRLog -- First-Time Leader by George B. Bradt and Gillian Davis is a primer for new leaders in companies of any size. The book centers around the BRAVE leadership model which stands for Behaviors, Relationships, Attitudes, Values, and Environment. These are the tools new leaders need to transition into their new roles. Through the BRAVE leadership model, the authors provide a framework to help new leaders think about structure, values, mission, strategy, and team management. Leadership is about learning to communicate, listen, and adapt values, attitudes, and relationships that contribute to leadership success.

The BRAVE leadership model is a framework for leaders to plan for success:

Behaviors encourage leaders to delegate and create value for the team. These actions have real impact on people.

Relationships are the heart of leadership. Successful leaders need to have clear messages and lead through their actions rather than through their words.

Attitude reflects the culture and posture of an organization. There is a pivot point between the BRAVE elements that successful leaders can learn.

Values are at the core of high-performing teams. Success is aligned with organizations' missions and principles.

Environment provides the context for leadership. The practices and actions of leaders send messages to employees and create the environments of organizations.
