Whether you were born a leader or have had leadership thrust upon you, you’re in for a whole new set of challenges when managing other leaders. Think of the qualities that have brought you to a leadership role: your vision, confidence, and charisma, or perhaps your experience, unique skills, or network of powerful allies. Now remind yourself that other leaders share some or all of these qualities with you. The leaders you are called upon to lead may be other executives, highly educated experts, investors, government officials, doctors, lawyers, or other professionals. Leading Leaders breaks the challenge down into the Seven Daily Tasks of Leadership some of which:

• Integration: How do you make stars a team?
• Mediation: How do you resolve conflicts over turf and power among other leaders so the organization can move forward?
• Education: How do you educate people who think they are already educated?
• Motivation How do you move other leaders who already seem “to have everything” to do the right thing for the organization?
