The Extraordinary Leader

Description

This is a no-nonsense, battle-tested program for developing exceptional leadership skills - both in your organization and yourself. The ability to lead, far more than just a natural gift, is a concrete and learnable skill - one that can be acquired by studying and applying specific proficiencies and attitudes. "The Extraordinary Leader" draws on responses from 200,000 questionnaires to define the skills that comprise effective leadership, and then provides a systematic and innovative program for attaining, developing, and implementing those skills. Praise for "The Extraordinary Leader": '"The Extraordinary Leader" attacks cherished but unsupportable assumptions, and does it persuasively, precisely, and professionally. Through their exceptional research the authors demonstrate and prove that leadership does make a difference, and that you can learn to lead' - James M. Kouzes, Chairman Emeritus, Tom Peters Company, Coauthor, "The Leadership Challenge" and "Encouraging the Heart". 'Extraordinarily readable! This book represents some of the best thinking on leadership I've seen in a long while' - E.David Spong, President, Military Aerospace Support, The Boeing Company.
