Download or read book The Extraordinary Leader written by John H. Zenger and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2002-08-15 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secrets for developing leadership and competitive advantage in any organization The Extraordinary Leader is a research-based book about leadership. It analyzes 200,000 assessments from 20,000 managers and presents new insights that demystify this complex subject. It clearly establishes the importance of developing great leaders versus being satisfied with merely good ones, and highlights the link between leadership behavior and an organization's performance. From the authors' research, a new model of leadership emerges that challenges long-held beliefs about leadership competencies. The authors identify 16 competencies that tower above all the others-the ones that separate great leaders from the average. One of the book's major breakthroughs is its focus on the importance of maximizing strengths as opposed to merely correcting weaknesses. Further, the importance of balanced strengths is introduced: when strengths are clustered in one area, the leader is less effective than he or she could be with strengths in different areas.

It's like a fast track to all things you usually find out and realise later in your career." Liz Arkell, Employee Engagement Consultant 'Soft Skills for Strong Leaders' gets straight to the point and works well as an ongoing reference which enables you to dip in and out of the book to gain advice when the need arises."

The good news is that you can learn these skills, through raising your self-awareness, and being more aware of those around you. This book takes you on a personal journey of discovery, as you prepare for leadership, embark on your first 100 days, and learn strategies to tackle the day-to-day challenges of leadership.
