The Next Level

Outline

The Next Level (2006) guides leaders who are stepping into bigger roles. Scott Eblin explains that success at a higher level depends not only on learning new skills but also on letting go of old habits that worked before. He describes what leaders need to pick up and let go of in three areas: personal presence, team presence, and organisational presence. The book has been updated in later editions.

• Moving into a bigger leadership role takes more than new skills; you also have to drop habits that once worked.
• Habits that earned you success at your current level can hold you back at the next one.
• Scott Eblin looks at what leaders must pick up and let go of in three areas of presence.
• The three areas are personal presence, team presence, and organisational presence.
• Sharper communication, stronger decisions, and a more confident presence are what mark advanced leadership.
