Executives and managers work hard to be effective. Then what? Some find that they want something more: to work with greater meaning; to be more fulfilled; happier with their work; or simply a better leader.
David Peck, president of Leadership Unleashed, an executive coaching and management consulting firm, presents over 100 powerful one-paragraph leadership tools in "Beyond Effective: Practices in Self-aware Leadership" for those wanting to take the next step as executives and leaders.
Self-awareness is the key ingredient to go beyond simply being effective. In fact, great leadership begins not with the outside world, but with the person you see in the mirror. Your beliefs lead to feelings, beliefs and feelings lead to your actions, and those actions lead to your results. The bottom line of this book: Change your beliefs for the better, and better results must follow.
THIS BOOK GIVES YOU:
- New ways to take your core leadership abilities to the next level
- Powerful techniques for leading your people
- Innovative insights for guiding your organization
- Practical ways to turn large and small challenges into wins
- Refreshing practices in self-awareness that translate into results
