Download or read book Driving Leaders written by Chris Cappy and published by Pilot Consulting Corporation. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of business makes generous use of metaphors drawn from the auto industry--as in "driving for results," "leading in the fast lane," "looking under the organization's hood," and "leaving the competition in the dust." But this timely, highly readable handbook goes a big step further. Author Chris Cappy, a veteran management consultant and self-professed "car guy," along with Scott Good, a serial entrepreneur and national championship-winning racing driver, contend that driving is much more than just a metaphor. Together, they demonstrate that the principles of top-level automobile racing can teach us a great deal not only about leadership, but also about life. In this book, they literally put us in the driver's seat and show us how it's done. Endurance racing at the highest levels is a sophisticated team sport, not just an isolated act of derring-do. It takes vision, planning, training, and exquisite execution by many people over a long period of time. Sound familiar? If you're a business executive, it should. High-performance leading, like racing, is emphatically a team endeavor. The authors' passion for their subject leaps out from every page, and it's catching. So are the keen insights derived from the racetrack--insights used to demonstrate how to leverage and apply important skills and principles in our professional and personal lives. After all, today's business environment is nothing if not fast and furious. There's danger around every curve; if we can't learn how to see around that curve before we get there, to anticipate quickly how to respond, and then to guide ourselves and our organizations around them safely, we'll spin out of control. Isn't that what today's leadership is all about--recognizing with a clear eye the uncertainty and volatility all around us, and then coaching teams of highly-trained people to navigate through successfully? Yes, but how--how do leaders teach, align and motivate their employees to maximize business results? To answer those questions, "The Driving Leader's Handbook" escorts us into the high-pressure world of motorsports and then deftly pulls back to offer cogent advice. It guides us step-by-step through the process that leads a professional driver--or an executive--to a level of performance not previously thought possible. It's a feeling (yes, feelings and instinct in this realm trump pure knowledge) of calm focus--that relaxed state amidst chaos and confusion that nimbly guides a sports car, or an executive team, through extreme adversity. "The Driving Leader's Handbook" blends the lessons learned from the racetrack with vast experience gained while working with senior executives of some of the world's largest corporations around organizational change. Leading change is the most daunting challenge today's leaders face, but face it they must: There's no alternative. Leadership and change have become synonymous. Drawing from the example of legendary racing team owners like Roger Penske, Chris and Scott show how to build a business case for change by involving employees and wider stakeholders in the process at every level. For the leader, it requires a level of passion, commitment and relentless focus on results.

What makes How Leaders Improve: A Playbook for Leaders Who Want to Get Better Now markedly different from and better than the scores of other books on the topic of leadership? Instead of dedicating their efforts to imparting wisdom on what makes a great leader, the three-person leadership training "dream team" behind this book explain how already-effective leaders can actually get better. How Leaders Improve is a data- and research-driven playbook for how any leader can improve their leadership abilities in a practical, immediate way. Authors Gates, Graddy, and Lindekens—all experienced executive coaches and leadership development consultants—have spent their careers developing leaders, and now they share 10 key insights derived from interviews with leaders who achieved significant improvements in their leadership effectiveness. These data-driven insights are augmented by the authors' knowledge of the science behind human behavior change, as well as their experience in developing leaders. The book serves four audiences: leaders looking to improve themselves; organizational stakeholders with the responsibility of developing leaders; individual coaches or managers who want to boost their effectiveness in developing leaders; and educators in the fields of leadership, communication, organizational behavior, organizational psychology, and related fields.

Download or read book Developing Emotionally Mature Leaders written by Aubrey Malphurs and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many things that make up a great leader. The ability to motivate, to see the big picture, to delegate. But perhaps just as important, if not more so, is the leader's emotional intelligence (EQ). How we feel impacts how we lead, and how those we lead feel about themselves when they're around us affects how well they follow our leadership. It follows then that if we want to be the most effective leaders, we must be emotionally mature. In this practical book, church leadership expert Aubrey Malphurs shows church and ministry leaders how to assess, understand, and improve both their own EQ and that of their followers, so that they can inspire the very best in their churches and organizations.

Download or read book Gear Shifting Leadership written by Leon Cai and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-03-24 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawn from his experience as the executive dean of Wilner Sales and Leadership Institute, Leon Cai shares his proven philosophy and methods for improving leadership skills among middle and high-level managers. Leon is one the top ten most influential trainers in China winning “Honor China Award” and is a leading figure in China’s training and consulting industry. Gear-Shifting Leadership, now in its Second Edition, is a book designed to improve leadership ability of practicing managers and addresses the full spectrum or panorama of what is expected from successful leaders. Managers need to grasp more than just one or two aspects of leadership, but the whole content and complete framework of it. Gear-Shifting Leadership, Second Edition provides the concepts, tools, and examples needed for managers to become effective leaders. Updated with new examples and tools, this second edition of Gear-Shifting Leadership synthesizes dozens of leadership models, and fully displays "the panorama of leadership." The author demonstrates the panorama by showing the links and connections between different parts of leadership. The book displays the four gears and nineteen components of leadership managers need to develop. The four gears are: Followership, Face-to-face Leadership, In-Direct Leadership, and Organizational Executive Leadership. • Followership refers to the ability of leaders to win the trust from subordinates, superiors, and counterparts through demonstrative self-management. • Face-to-face Leadership demonstrates the leaders’ ability to drive, encourage, instruct, manage, control, and develop direct subordinates and core teams. It exhibits leaders’ one-on-one leadership abilities targeted at their direct subordinates. • Indirect Leadership shows the leaders’ influence and driving power towards indirect subordinates and the whole team, and it can be defined as the leaders’ role in managing the team as a whole. • Organizational Executive Leadership shows leaders’ acute insight of the dynamic changes in their organizations, and the leaders’ ability to optimize their own approach to managing the team and in so doing, adapt to changes in both the internal and external environment of organizations. The book walks readers through each gear as well as the several components it comprises. Many leadership books have excellent concepts and ways of thinking, but lack practical sheets, models and tools, so that books of this type can only improve leaders themselves and can’t be widely used in their organizations. Gear-Shifting Leadership illustrates the model, tables, evaluation questionnaires, and simplified tools that will make the material in this book practical and applicable.
