Lanik lists a long menu of cues and behaviors, so diligent and patient readers will gain the most from his method. He asserts that reading leadership books isn’t a productive way to learn to lead, but he sells himself – and the genre – short, as readers will discover to their pleasure.

Follow the “Leader Habit Formula”: Target a specific ability you want to develop – for example, “active listening,” in which you pay close and respectful attention to others – and then practice it, day after day. At the same time, link the skill with specific behavioral cues – and, possibly, rewards – until it becomes an “automatic behavior...
