The Motive: Why So Many Leaders Abdicate Their Most Important Responsibilities
by Patrick M. Lencioni (Author)
Hardcover – 20 February 2020
In The Motive: Why So Many Leaders Abdicate Their Most Important Responsibilities, Patrick M. Lencioni takes a sharp, insightful look at leadership and the ways in which many leaders fail to fully embrace the responsibilities that come with their roles. Through a captivating fable, Lencioni explores the difference between leaders who seek power and prestige and those who are truly dedicated to their teams and organizations. This book challenges the notion that leadership is about comfort and recognition, instead highlighting the tough, often uncomfortable decisions that leaders must make to drive long-term success.
Lencioni draws a stark contrast between two types of leaders: those who focus on personal gain and comfort, and those who understand that true leadership involves sacrifice, accountability, and making tough calls. By presenting this dilemma, the book emphasizes the need for leaders to take ownership of the difficult aspects of leadership—building trust, holding people accountable, and making strategic decisions that benefit the organization as a whole.
Written in Lencioni's engaging and accessible style, The Motive is a must-read for leaders at all levels, whether in business, government, or nonprofit sectors. It offers valuable insights on how to recognize when you might be avoiding your leadership responsibilities and how to refocus on what truly matters.
