A Field Guide to What Leaders Do
True leadership isn’t defined by your title, personality, or intentions. It’s revealed in what you do, especially when the stakes are high. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just starting out, this is your guide to cultivating exceptional leadership through deliberate actions practiced every day.
Drawing on a career leading soldiers in the US Army and technology teams at PayPal, Etsy, and MyFitnessPal, Mike Fisher distills leadership into thirty observable, repeatable behaviors that build trust, strengthen teams, and deliver results. Through compelling stories from business, military service, sports, and history, each chapter brings a single leadership behavior to life with practical lessons and clear actions you can apply immediately.
If you want to become the kind of leader people trust, remember, and willingly follow, The Actions That Make a Leader gives you the tools to do it. Discover how consistent actions, not charisma or position, create lasting leadership and meaningful impact.
