The Leadership UpShift: The Executive’s Journey from Management Control To Inspired Leadership
Product Information
Product Description
"A primer on leadership." -- Carlos Hoyos, Senior Global C-Level Executive Coach, Forbes Coaches Council & HBR Advisor Council Member.At some point in your career, you did everything right. You delivered results. You built teams. You got promoted. And then, quietly, something stopped working.Not your intelligence. Not your work ethic. Not your commitment.The way you were leading.What nobody told you is that the skills that make a great manager actively prevent great leadership. They are not two levels of the same thing. They are two fundamentally different operating systems, and you cannot run both at once. Most executives spend years trying to solve a consciousness problem with a skills solution. That is why 75% of leadership development programs produce no measurable change, despite a $366 billion industry built around them.The Leadership Upshift is different. Not because it offers more frameworks or better techniques, but because it starts where every other leadership book stops: at the level of consciousness itself.Over two decades inside Fortune 500 organizations, Aurélien Mangano watched talented, driven executives hit invisible ceilings and mistake the ceiling for their limit. It was not. It was a signal. A signal that the operating system needed to change, not the effort.Drawing on 60+ years of developmental research by Kegan, Anderson, and Torbert, and field-tested with Directors, VPs, and C-suite executives across global industries, the Leadership Maturity Matrix™ and Five-Pillar Framework offer something rare: not inspiration, but precision. A clear map of where you are, why you are there, and exactly what the shift requires.You will not find a checklist here. You will not find generic advice dressed up as insight. What you will find is an honest conversation about the transformation that separates the executives who inspire from those who simply manage, and a proven path to making it.If something in you knows you are capable of more than your current leadership is producing, this book was written for you.
