Boundaries for Leaders
by Henry Cloud
Cloud applies boundaries to leadership: you get what you create and what you allow, attention and focus as a leader's responsibility, building emotional climates, control and ownership, and the hardest boundary, the one with yourself. It is less overtly religious than his other books and useful to any manager.
Read it if…
you lead a team and the culture is not what you want; this explains why it is yours.
Skip it if…
you want tactics; this is about what you permit.
Three things you will actually use
- You get what you create and what you allow.
- Set boundaries on your own attention first.
- Positive climates come from leader behavior, not posters.
Do this first
List what you tolerate on your team that you would not want to be measured by, and address one.
Our verdict
Useful for any leader.
