Many successful managers want to transition from management to leadership—but have no idea how. This book provides a well-lit pathway—a paradigm—for transforming yourself from manager to leader. By implementing 23 time-tested and easy-to-remember truths, managers can become leaders. These wisdoms are grouped into six core competencies that every leader-to-be must master: Focusing, Leading, Actioning, Philosophizing, Learning, and Caring.

You don’t have to be an expert to be a great manager, but you must have a great management paradigm! This book is the roadmap you need to transition from expert “doer” to great manager. Developed from 45 years of managing everything from nuclear power plants to doctors’ conventions, Tom Gehring’s Socratic Management Paradigm reverses traditional management thinking. Instead of focusing on knowing all the right answers - impossible in this complex world - this book shows you how to ask of your team the right fundamental questions and how to recognize typical wrong answers.

You are a leader. You are in charge (of something, large or small). How do you allocate your two most important resources - your time and your attention - in an organized and consistent manner? What do you delegate? What don’t you delegate? This book makes the seven non-delegable roles of the leader explicit, organized, and connected, and thereby provides a springboard to help you develop your leadership paradigm.
