Описание: If you were to ask managers and executives where they get the most influential and effective developmental training, the answer you're likely to get is "on the job." Too often, those same managers and executives discount what can be learned from experiences outside of work. CCL research demonstrates that activities that take place outside of the regular workday contribute to a leader's effectiveness as a manager. This guidebook shows how to see those activities as opportunities for developing key leadership skills in such areas as interpersonal relations, communication, collaboration, and flexibility.

Описание: A volume in Research in Management Education and Development Series Editors: Charles Wankel, St. John's University Management makes the world go round. This is a strong belief of the authors of this volume. The current tumultuous economic and financial crisis and the intensifying threats caused by climate change are symptoms of a global system that is out of balance. It is increasingly assumed that managers share the responsibility for these developments. After all, management as a major force in the shaping of global economic conditions and social relations make the world go round. At present an alliance of business schools, publishers and certification agencies is rapidly organizing the learning of executives and leaders into a global industry developed by professional managers. But under these circumstances do MBA courses and executive education programs in business schools offer the appropriate learning for current challenges? And can managers learn the lessons of the crisis in these learning environments? Or does the transformation of learning into a global business rather tend to discourage critical thinking and reflective patterns of learning? "Management makes the world go round". This was also the title of an international conference on management learning, where the authors of this volume presented their ideas, shared their experiences, increased their knowledge and contributed to a fascinating debate in a context with a great professional and cultural diversity. This inspired the group to hold on to this debate and develop the ideas further on. So this book was created and brought into the IAP division of Management Education.
Описание: From James Rees, Executive Director of Mount Vernon, comes an enlightening guide to the leadership wisdom of America's first great leader. George
Washington was more than just an inspiring battlefield commander; he was critical to the founding and success of the United States of America. His leadership, his vision, and his
courage united a war-torn country and set the United States on the path to greatness.
Washington's historic contribution to this nation - his leadership and his character - are
as relevant and valuable today as they have ever been.This book reveals Washington's character, his leadership, his vision, and most surprising of all, his business skills and acumen.
Most people aren't aware that Washington, while all of the above, was also a successful businessman and visionary entrepreneur. Exhibiting qualities sorely lacking in so many of our
political and business leaders today, Washington remained steadfastly honest and ethical, following guiding principles that would benefit leaders around the world.
"George
Washington's Leadership Lessons" reveals a man of true character, worthy of emulation
ot just in the realm of politics and war, but in all leadership positions.
Описание: Drawn from original research conducted jointly with foresight company Z-Punkt and further analyzed by Hay Group, this title uncovers megatrends that will dramatically impact organizations` markets, cultures, systems, and processes: Globalization 2.0: Asia dominates the global economy; and Climate change: Sustainability becomes imperative.
The difference between flourishing and floundering is 10X. The difference between quantity and quality is a factor of 10. The difference in levels of engagement is exponential. People functioning at the highest level are what the authors call 10x leaders. Research on these leaders consistently brought up five major strengths. This book teaches readers to become a 10x leader using these five key areas, the SHARP framework.
● Strengths10X leaders stop trying to eliminate weaknesses and learn to focus on their strengths
● Health10X leaders stop trying to eliminate stress and learn how to integrate periods of restoration
● Absorption10X leaders stop waiting for the lightning of focus and creativity to strike and learn how to achieve consistent engagement and presence
● Relationships10X leaders stop trying to exert power and control and learn to cultivate healthy relationships through positivity and authenticity
● Purpose10X leaders stop grinding out tasks and learn how to find meaning and commitment in everything they do
The 10X elixir of peak performance comes not from focusing on just one of these areas, but from learning to light the fire of all five aspects of SHARP and functioning naturally with them on a daily basis. If you just cultivate one or two aspects of leadership skills you are unlikely to succeed. If one of the five isn't taken care of it affects the performance of the whole. But if you focus on all five areas, you will not only be more likely to find what helps you most, you have the best chance of enjoying the synergy of performance multiplication.
