Recognizing Good and Poor Leadership in the Real World
Paul Okum, a former U.S. Army officer who has held numerous executive positions with the federal government, builds upon the insights he shared in his first book,Leadership DNA
. In this second book, Okum shares techniques to identify, select, and help born leaders enhance their skills.
He explores how good leaders effectively overcome forty different types of challenges through short essays. Learn how to:
• avoid one-size-fits-all formulas;
• use innate talents to deal with and solve challenges;
• embrace the art of leadership over the science of leadership;
• weave a message of hope and confidence that others can embrace.
Okum also explains what leadership isn’t — toppling the arguments of leadership gurus who argue that leadership can be managed. The problem with that approach, he says, is that you cannot choreograph a leader’s response to a wide range of human activity and organizational change. You cannot view leadership like a scientific calculation where adherence to formulas equals good leadership.

Why the Accepted Premise That Anyone Can Be a Leader Is Utterly False and the Main Cause of Poor Leadership in America
Not many people are satisfied with the leaders we have in the public and private sectors. We are suffering from a severe lack of good leadership—even though billions of dollars per year are spent on leadership training and development.
The root cause of this leadership vacuum is that leadership gurus firmly believe, teach, and preach that anyone can be “made” into a leader with the right training, personal desire, and commitment. With this premise, they’ve approached leadership as a commonplace and elementary skill that anyone can learn. There’s just one problem: they’re wrong.
In this guidebook on leadership, you’ll learn about all aspects of leadership, including:
how to look past personality profiles, leadership models, and traditional assessment tools to grasp what makes a great leader;
how to identify and select natural born leaders to achieve your objectives;
how to deal with poor leaders who hurt you and your organization.
Leadership DNA examines the false premise that anyone can be a leader and provides insights and tools that lead to a better system of identifying, selecting, and developing born leaders.
