Action Centered Leadership - A Roles-based or Functional Leadership Model

Roles-based approaches to leadership focus not on the leader’s traits nor their behavior. Instead, they focus on their functions: what they need to do, to lead. And none is better, nor more accessible, than John Adair’s Action Centered Leadership model.

LESSON NOTES
Roles-based leadership models assert that, to be a good leader, we must competently fulfill the functions of a leader. In his Action-centered Leadership model, John Adair summarizes these roles under three headings:

2. Team functions - Building and maintaining the
3. Individual functions - Developing individuals

RECOMMENDED READING
There are a vast number of Leadership books - perhaps more than on any other management-related topic. And there is also a huge range represented in different lists of the best. This no-doubt reflects the different contexts for leadership.
So, any recommended reading list of leadership books must be particularly subjective. I have chosen those that made me think, and which are of particular value to managerial leaders: not sportspeople, military leaders, or CEOs. In no particular order:
