Download or read book Cultureship written by Jason Bingham and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2013 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to popular belief, leadership is not the solution to every business problem or sustained business success. The answer lies in the culture of the organization. Strong business leaders follow their organization's culture and guide with a system of beliefs called Cultureship. Business managers who practice Cultureship know that developing and leading high-performing cultures can be learned and taught. Backed with irrefutable evidence, Cultureship introduces this system of beliefs and illustrates how changing culture can quickly lead to better business results; how every employee wants to grow, serve, and perform; how associates ultimately own the culture; and how successful leaders don't tell, they lead. Once you understand each of the ten beliefs and how they fit together as a unified whole, you will be on your way to becoming a great leader. Applying Cultureship to your own business, whether you're a novice or a more experienced manager, will differentiate your organization, increase productivity, lead to higher profits, and elevate you to a more advanced level of personal leadership success.

Download or read book Better written by Tim Stevenson and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every significant group accomplishment -- and failure -- in the history of the world can be traced back to leadership. Leaders make things happen. Ideally, leaders make things BETTER. Organizations constantly search for quality leaders, but finding and developing them remains a perpetual challenge. Helpful insights and practical applications for leaders are widely available, but where can you find a comprehensive presentation of the basics of leadership itself, showing from the beginning what it takes to lead effectively? In BETTER: The Fundamentals of Leadership, Tim Stevenson systematically presents the ABCs of leadership, those things that must be known and applied by everyone, from the beginner to the advanced leader. Whether you lead an entire organization or a small team, you will learn what you must know and do if you want others to follow you. Tim draws from his extensive coaching and training experience to present clear principles illustrated by vivid real-life people stories and memorable illustrations. His writing style is conversational and easy-going, making this book a stimulating and inspiring read. BETTER: The Fundamentals of Leadership challenges many of the common assumptions of organizations today, particularly how leaders are chosen. Commonly, a person's professional competence (knowledge & skills) is considered sufficient qualification for leadership, but the high rate of leadership failures demonstrates that something is wrong. Tim Stevenson contends in BETTER that personal conduct (behavior) is just as important, if not more so. The rule of thumb is that many executives rise to leadership on the basis of their professional competence, but fail because they fall short in managing the people side of their roles. BETTER clearly outlines what kind of behaviors are required for leadership success, and provides clear guidance for anyone in a leading role. The book is divided into three parts: Part I consists of three chapters which form the foundation for this investigation, beginning with the elementary question, "What is a leader?" Also addressed is whether or not a particular temperament is necessary, and what is required to win followers. Part II presents the requirements of effective leadership in 10 Leadership Propositions. These are ten assertions explaining essential qualities and practices for successful, long-term leadership. They lay out the cost required in order to lead and awareness needed for the leader's journey. Part III shares insights from an executive coach's perspective and valuable equipment for moving ahead in leadership. These final three chapters present helpful tools for conducting a leadership self-evaluation, making desired behavioral changes, doing essential self-maintenance, and setting and protecting boundaries. Each chapter in the book is followed by a summary of take-aways called "Leading Insights" to help crystallize and capture its major applications. BETTER: The Fundamentals of Leadership shares wisdom and applicable principles for leaders at the highest levels of organizations. At the same time, it can be given to young people at the starting line of their careers to provide them with what they need to know and do to progress and learn how to lead others effectively. In short, BETTER: The Fundamentals of Leadership provides valuable wisdom, necessary understanding, and practical insights for anyone interested in the challenging subject of leadership.

Download or read book The ABC Manager How to Manage People more Effectively in Today s Challenging and Demanding Work Environments written by Eddie Fisher and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, , language: English, abstract: It is recognized by academics and the community of practice that the management of people plays an important role in today’s challenging and competitive working environments. Recent people skills research expresses the need to investigate how knowledge of the concepts of attitude and behaviour can help managers to improve their managing people skills and competences. Social Psychology plays an important role in establishing what makes an effective people manager. This paper proposes what practising social psychologists consider are the attitudes, behaviours and competences (ABC) of an effective people manager. A combination of literature review and contributions from a focus group meeting with practising social psychologists provided new insights to answer the main research questions and to confirm whether the research hypotheses are valid. The results suggest that managers would benefit from adopting and applying the suggested ABC skills set for their own benefit and the benefit of those they are managing. It is suggested that managers with an ABC skills set are highly likely to make significant contributions towards business growth the organizations they work for. The outcome of this research is applicable and relevant to managers in any working environment such as Construction, IT, Finance or Consultancy. The proposed skills set of what makes an effective ABC manager can be universally applied although some modifications may be necessary to meet the needs of cultural diversities.
