Publisher's Synopsis
Jarrod Allen's fresh new book declares war on bad management and outlines the CLEAR way to truly lead human beings. What is CLEAR Leadership? CLEAR leadership is a powerful book to reset your expectations on what it means to be a leader in the world today. The single best way to begin your leadership journey is to build relationships with your team and influence them organically. Written for retail and sales leaders in mind, CLEAR offers a bold and sobering look at the leadership game today and offers real world solutions such as: - Overcome the barriers of hierarchy, titles and other outdated leadership relics that hinder more than help. - Connect with your team in a meaningful and sustainable way that looks to build long term working relationships. - Build a team of people that truly love what they do and want YOU as their boss. - Create a positive brand for yourself and your company that doesn't rely on gimmicks or half truths. - Learn how to lead people from all walks of life, especially "Millennials" ! CLEAR is an acronym for Communicate, Listen, Engage, Awareness, Respect. Here's a brief rundown of what you can expect from each chapter. 1. Communicate. Communication is so important we broke it into two chapters! Learn how to transcend simply passing on information to jump starting the influencing process no matter who your audience may be. 2. Listen. Listening fully is by far one of the biggest challenges we face today. Discover how a few simple tweaks to how you listen and use listening as a skill can unlock your team's potential. 3. Engage. People around the world have completely tuned out, unplugged and disengaged from their jobs and it's literally killing the modern workplace. It's time to get real and surpass the obstacles that prevent leadership teams from reaching their employees. 4. Awareness. As Socrates said, "The unexamined life isn't worth living," and that's true for anyone serious about being the best you can be. Dismantle the blinders that prevent you from connecting with people and develop your awareness by facing down your own fears. 5. Respect. Everyone wants it, but not everyone is worthy of it. Are you? Learn how to get respect by showing it first and being the kind of leader and human being that others will want to follow.
