A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The popular caricature of a great leader today is an activist who leads from the front, often through sheer force of personality - the kind of leader who will act as a saviour to a company or organisation. But most leaders are ordinary people who learn wisdom. One key to successful leadership is the ability to reflect - on one's own strengths and weaknesses, and on human nature and behaviour in order to bring out the best in others and build team spirit and morale.This practical and inspiring book sets out an approach to leadership that is more effective in the longer term and explores:the art of reflection, the ability to identify key facts,how to weigh up risks,how to nurture self-knowledge and understanding of others,how to differentiate between knowledge and wisdom, the art of listening,building a common vision ,and more. From their extensive experience training leaders in business, ministry and public service, the authors offer a wise and reliable guide.
