From Expert to Executive: Mastering the SOPs of Leading

I enjoyed learning about the Leadership SOPs.Too many people become department supervisors or managers because they are the best at the job. The assumption is being the best at the task, means you are the leader of the team. Often the result is a promotion without any training or assistance on accomplishing the new task of being a leader.This book illustrates that disaster can occur when individuals are asked to make that transition from Expert to Executive without support.The Leadership SOP process allows you to understand and experience how to transition from being the best at what you do to being the leader of the community of effort doing what they do.A great read and a baseline for any new leader, or anyone considering a leadership position.

I found the Leadership SOP intriguing in the beginning of the book. As the story progressed I found myself relating to Raj and K at the same time. I have made similar mistakes as these two more recently than I would like to admit. This is a book I will revisit again as the story is not weighed down with terminology and instruction but rather issues helpful structure that would be easily implemented even if the follow through would take some work. This will will be on my suggested reading list for current and future leaders.

I’ve been following management books and leadership for decades and feel like this was another great approach to helping me developing my self and my team this caused me to look internally at my self and team to recognize opportunities for success and growth. His new acronym for SOPs really hits home and over the next weeks, months, years I look forward to progressing myself and team

The author did a brilliant job of sharing his thoughtful insights through storytelling. Once you get passed the traditional thinking of what are the steps to take and move to truly interpreting the concepts and making them relatable to you, magic happens. Ed as a fun way to bring the points to life. Highly recommend this book to anybody who wants to grow as a leader.. both professionally and personally.

This book uses anecdotal stories to convey lessons. While this may be perfect for the way some people learn, I prefer more direct approaches.

This is different than most leadership books as it does not just discuss the theory and provide examples, it puts it into the context of a fictionalized company. The characters are relatable and people all of us have met in our lives. Presenting his leadership theories within the context of the story helped me understand how to apply these principles in my professional life. Mr. Tyson's leadership SOP's approach presents a logical and effective means of getting the most out of an organization. The methods he proposes will help any organization improve their function and become more efficient and effective.

A Clear, concise and to the point. Many techniques illustrated in the book can be applied in real world situations.

A specific and actionable guide to leadership told through a highly relatable tale. We so often tell people they need to improve as leaders but how often do we actually prescribe what actions they should take? From Expert to Executive lays it out. Great read.
