| 520 | |a This book is a manual for effective leadership, grounded in research and written by authorities in the field. With insight into the complex interpersonal dynamics of the workplace, this book positions leadership both as a skill to be learned, and as a relationship that must be nurtured to reach its full potential. This edition has been revised to address current challenges, and includes more international examples and a laser focus on business issues. Readers will learn how extraordinary leaders accomplish extraordinary things, and how to develop your leadership skills and style to deliver quality results every time. Engaging stories delve into the fundamental roles that great leaders fulfill, and simple frameworks provide a primer for those who seek continuous improvement; by internalizing key insights and putting concepts into action, you'll become a more effective, more impactful leader. A good leader gets things done; a great leader aspires, inspires, and achieves more. This book highlights the differences between good and great, and shows how to bridge the chasm between getting things done and making things happen. Gain insight into leadership's critical role in organizational health. Navigate the shift toward team-oriented work relationships. Motivate and inspire to break through the pervasive new cynicism. Leverage the electronic global village to deliver better results. Business is evolving at an increasingly rapid rate, and leaders must keep pace with the changes or risk stagnation. People work differently, are motivated differently, and have different expectations today - and business as usual is quickly losing its effectiveness. This book aims at helping readers stay current, relevant, and effective in the modern workplace.--description from Amazon. | ||
