The book displays the four gears and nineteen components of leadership managers need to develop. The four gears are: Followership, Face-to-face Leadership, In-Direct Leadership, and Organizational Executive Leadership.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Followership refers to the ability of leaders to win the trust from subordinates, superiors, and counterparts through demonstrative self-management. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Face-to-face Leadership demonstrates the leaders' ability to drive, encourage, instruct, manage, control, and develop direct subordinates and core teams. It exhibits leaders' one-on-one leadership abilities targeted at their direct subordinates. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Indirect Leadership shows the leaders' influence and driving power towards indirect subordinates and the whole team, and it can be defined as the leaders' role in managing the team as a whole. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Organizational Executive Leadership shows leaders' acute insight of the dynamic changes in their organizations, and the leaders' ability to optimize their own approach to managing the team and in so doing, adapt to changes in both the internal and external environment of organizations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book walks readers through each gear as well as the several components it comprises. Many leadership books have excellent concepts and ways of thinking, but lack practical sheets, models and tools, so that books of this type can only improve leaders themselves and can't be widely used in their organizations. Gear-Shifting Leadership illustrates the model, tables, evaluation questionnaires, and simplified tools that will make the material in this book practical and applicable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeon Cai\u003c\/strong\u003e is a global partner of Perth Leadership Institute and represents Perth in Shanghai, China.
