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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Against the background of the increasing economic importance of leadership, this assignment investigates what the facets of an authentic leader are. The target group of this assignment are leader who want make itself to a more authentic leader. Today, many companies are facing the problem of having a respected leader who can empower employees to achieve goals. With authentic leadership, a leader is able to make employees to followers, to increase the team performance and to have an open communication. This practice-oriented investigation therefore focuses on communication. Although the effects of communication between sender and receiver are known over the years, leaders often use simple responses rather than showing commitment to employee's needs. To sum up, authentic leadership includes both the 'doing' factor (the way how a leader is doing something) and the 'being' side (the inner attitude). At the end of the day, it is the individuals' behavior that plays a pivotal role in the work climate. The optimization of leadership style is therefore indispensable in our today's business environment.

Download or read book Employee Performance Optimization written by Betti Nuraini and published by Asadel Publisher. This book was released on 2023-08-11 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the intricate landscape of organizational success, the pivotal role of its members' contributions cannot be understated. Among the bedrock elements within this framework, human resources emerge as the linchpin in shaping accomplishments. Anchoring this dynamic lies the imperative of effective leadership, which not only cultivates a vibrant work milieu but also profoundly shapes individual performance. This book sets out on a quest to unravel the interplay between leadership, compensation, and the resultant impact on employee performance. "Employee Performance Optimization: The Synergy of Leadership and Compensation" navigates through a comprehensive exploration of leadership's theoretical bedrock, spanning diverse theories, styles, and their tangible applications within organizational echelons. Moreover, it delves deep into the construct of compensation, enwrapping varied forms, and their symbiotic connection with motivation. All the while, it scrutizines the profound ripples these aspects cast on the tapestry of employee performance. The initial traverse within this literary voyage centers on leadership theories, unearthing the realms of trait, behavioral, situational, transformational, transactional, charismatic, entrepreneurial, and servant leadership theories. These chapters not only acquaint the reader with these theories but offer a scaffold to evaluate their role in sculpting employee performance. Beyond theories, this book unveils the panorama of leadership styles and their ripple effects on employee motivation, engagement, and overall efficacy. It underscores the undeniable worth of sagacious leadership, illustrating how adept leaders become architects of inspiration and direction, culminating in augmented performance and triumph within the organization. As the narrative unfurls, the book's second phase steers attention towards the central role of compensation in kindling employee motivation. This segment methodically dissects diverse compensation paradigms – direct and indirect rewards – unfurling their magnetic sway on employee contentment, productivity, and allegiance to the company. Furthermore, the enigmatic rapport between compensation and motivation is explored, accentuating the capacity of a well-woven compensation fabric to synchronize employee aspirations with the organizational tapestry, thereby orchestrating an optimally resonant performance crescendo. Within these pages, the spotlight also illuminates the nuances of evaluating and gauging employee performance. This spotlight encompasses performance evaluation, key performance indicators (KPIs), 360-degree feedback, self-assessment, peer review, and performance appraisal software. A grasp of these subtleties empowers organizations with strategies to distill improvement avenues, catalyzing a holistic surge in performance. Further still, this book's essence takes tangible shape through real-world vignettes drawn from a spectrum of organizational spheres, enwrapping both public and private domains. These case studies stand as living testaments to the tangible ramifications of effective leadership and pertinent compensation. They unravel the fabric of how leadership and compensation imprint on employee performance within specific contexts, yielding potent lessons and pragmatic wisdom that resonate across industries.

Download or read book Stress Wellness and Performance Optimization written by Nilesh Thakre and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the intertwined concepts of stress, performance, and wellness and offers insight and strategies for providing support to individuals and organizations for effective performance optimization. The book considers new constructs in the area of organizational stress and provides a comprehensive review of wellness as well as performance aspects, offering unique perspectives and empirical findings. The book first discusses organizational constraints and summarizes the many factors within workplaces that negate effective job performance (disruptions, lack of supplies, equipment, or training, etc.). It discusses well-being interventions, giving practical examples that combine theory and practice. The moderating effect of situation-specific support is considered as is the role of family and spirituality in creating resilience in leadership and organizations in different cultural contexts. New technology, such as wearable devices and computer-based software applications, are considered, highlighting their potential to provide employers with guidance as to how they can enable their employees to self-manage their wellness and productivity. Other topics include anxiety habit loops —how they are formed, their debilitating impact, and various strategies that can break these dysfunctional habit loops and replace them with more functional and constructive habits, better leading to reduced anxiety, stronger mental well-being and resilience; measuring work-life balance and life satisfaction; the effects of perceived organizational justice and generational cohort on burnout and self-efficacy and the association between burnout and self-efficacy; and more.

Download or read book Resonant Leadership written by Richard Boyatzis and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2005-09-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blockbuster best seller Primal Leadership introduced us to "resonant" leaders--individuals who manage their own and others' emotions in ways that drive success. Leaders everywhere recognized the validity of resonant leadership, but struggled with how to achieve and sustain resonance amid the relentless demands of work and life. Now, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee provide an indispensable guide to overcoming the vicious cycle of stress, sacrifice, and dissonance that afflicts many leaders. Drawing from extensive multidisciplinary research and real-life stories, Resonant Leadership offers a field-tested framework for creating the resonance that fuels great leadership. Rather than constantly sacrificing themselves to workplace demands, leaders can manage the cycle using specific techniques to combat stress, avoid burnout, and renew themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. The book reveals that the path to resonance is through mindfulness, hope, and compassion and shows how intentionally employing these qualities creates effective and enduring leadership. Great leaders are resonant leaders. Resonant Leadership offers the inspiration--and tools--to spark and sustain resonance in ourselves and in those we lead.
