Publisher's Synopsis
Anyone can sit in a corner office and delegate tasks, but there is more to effective leadership than that. Effective leaders have major impacts on not only the team members they manage, but also their company as a whole. Employees who work under great leaders tend to be happier, more productive and more connected to their organization - and this has a ripple effect that reaches your business's bottom line. In this book, you'll discover that leadership skills are necessary, but not sufficient, to equip you to lead in the highly complex global enterprises of the twenty-first century. The author identifies seven crucial capacities that you'll need to identify, develop, nurture, and draw from as you step forward to take charge. And as a leader you will need to balance two opposing forces at once: the expectations placed on you by others with the reality that you won't always know what to do because you never encountered the situations you now face.
Do you have what it takes to lead in turbulent times? This book shows how to:
- Cultivate your character as a leader
- Interact confidently with your constituents
- Establish credibility with your constituents
- Create enduring connections so others want to follow
- Produce future leaders for your organization
- Discover the fulfillment that comes from growing yourself as well as your organization.
