Download or read book Ignite written by Sal Silvester and published by Happy About. This book was released on 2012 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While plenty of management wisdom has focused on leadership and teamwork, relatively little attention has been paid specifically to emerging leaders--people who have recently been or are about to be promoted to supervisory or managerial positions. Emerging leaders are usually bright, talented, and rising stars in their organizations. The challenge is that most new leaders are promoted, because they were good at what they did in their previous role, without any training and development. As a result they are often out of their element, unprepared, and even scared. And with good reason, because like so many people who have greatness thrust upon them, their handling of the often-rocky transition to manage their former team members will affect not only their future, but that of their company's as well. Now "Sal Silvester's" timely book, "Ignite!" competently fills this void. In this how-to business book, Sal, a veteran of corporate potential maximization, shows the path to igniting the potential of new leaders. He begins with a learning parable that illustrates the pitfalls and possibilities of leadership at every turn. In clear language that is easy to understand and translate into direct action, Sal provides emerging leaders with the tools they need for successful transition. But "Ignite!" is more than just a story. It incorporates for the first time Sal's People-First Leadership model that gives new leaders all the tools they need to elevate their effectiveness. Sal shows them how to make a perceptible impact on retention, engagement and productivity. By highlighting common errors that new managers make, Sal accelerates the transition to competent leadership and showcases the characteristics successful leaders must bring to the workplace. "Ignite!" is Sal's clever and actionable contribution towards smoothing the path to effective and seasoned leadership that enables leaders to ignite their potential and the potential of the people around them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on open source principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration, "open management" challenges conventional business ideas about what companies are, how they run, and how they make money. This book provides the blueprint for putting it into practice in your own firm. He covers challenges that have been missing from the conversation to date, among them: how to scale engagement; how to have healthy debates that net progress; and how to attract and keep the "Social Generation" of workers. Through a mix of vibrant stories, candid lessons, and tested processes, Whitehurst shows how Red Hat has blown the traditional operating model to pieces by emerging out of a pure bottom up culture and learning how to execute it at scale. And he explains what other companies are, and need to be doing to bring this open style into all facets of the organization.

Download or read book Invisible Leadership written by Robert Rabbin and published by Acropolis Books (GA). This book was released on 1998 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lexicon of transformation has entered the mainstream of society. Ideas and innovative paradigms of transformation and spiritual awakening have found their way into corporate America, and into the hearts and minds of visionary leaders everywhere. As leaders seek to cure social ills, as executives seek to energize and humanize the work place, as individuals seek to live out their deepest values, new dialogue is taking place. Invisible Leadership enters the scene with an invisible form of leadership: an expanded consciousness that is the yeast that leavens all other leadership skills, abilities and agendas. As leaders, we have an opportunity -- no, an obligation -- to not only awaken our own soul to its true power, but also those of our employees and colleagues, and to provide a setting to not only achieve our goals, but to find true potential and fulfillment. Rabbin asserts that the mystical experience of unitive consciousness is the prerequisite for effective leadership.
