The book is conveniently divided in 4 sections: Leadership as a Phenomenon, Working on Your Inner Qualities, Polishing Your Leadership Mirror, and Involving Your Environment. As this book focuses mainly on improving one's individual leadership skills, the emphasis is mainly placed on the second and third section.

Leadership comes from within, but you can’t find it until you know where to look. Here’s what you need to know… Have you just found yourself rising into a leadership role and aren’t quite sure what to do about it? Or maybe you’re still dreaming of the day this happens to you and want to be prepared when it comes? Perhaps your friends, family, and even co-workers are constantly admiring your leadership qualities but you still don't understand what they see in you? That voice inside of you that’s constantly encouraging you to stand up and lead isn’t going anywhere -- it’s time to embrace it. How you do that is actually a very simple and straightforward process. There are no fancy gimmicks or complex hoops to jump through, and it isn’t going to require a ton of your time or energy. There are 9 key factors that go into being a leader, and every leader has their strengths and weaknesses distributed across them differently. What’s important is that you understand each of them and become aware of what’s going to work best for you. Once you do, you’ll be able to tap into your own true power and begin leading others in the most effective (and productive) ways possible. In Leadership Wizard, you’ll discover: ● The different types of leadership styles -- and why transformational leadership is so crucial to your success ● How to use your body language and persuasive communication to get people to want to listen to you ● The most effective ways to build trust with your audience and following -- know your people are with you every step of the way ● A deeper look at what motivates people into action so you can focus on inspiring them in ways they feel excited about ● Why your team needs to see you “in the trenches” with them -- and what this actually looks like in your daily interactions ● How you can train your self-discipline -- and why this creates healthy habits of long-lasting success ● How you can turn your team of followers into a team of leaders -- and why this is actually a good thing for you … and much more! Enough with all the dreaming -- no one can follow someone who doesn’t lead them properly. People want to know what you have to say and want to go where you’re going… you just have to establish the right methods of communicating your message to them. Your exact skill set is needed in the world now more than ever before. The only question is: Are you ready to become everything you’re destined to be?
