Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a close look at how digital media can elevate or diminish a leader’s influence, this book provides a framework to guide organizational leaders’ selection and application of digital tools in communication with stakeholders. Through a media ecology approach, the book begins by exploring the transitions in technology over the course of human history that resulted in today’s digital communication environment. It builds on this understanding to examine the value leadership communication provides to engage employees and drive organizational objectives internally, while also highlighting the value of leaders’ external stakeholder communication using tools such as social media or websites to elevate credibility. It examines various challenges to give a realistic assessment of how leaders can navigate digital communication successfully to thrive personally and professionally. Finally, the book explores an often-missed dimension of leadership communication: followers. Using the ethicality of leadership and the role of followers, it concludes by examining guiding values for leadership communication in the digital age as well as forecasting future trends that will shape leaders’ communication. The book is intended as supplementary reading in organizational, leadership, corporate, and internal communication courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Book Tailored Approaches to Self Leadership

Download or read book Tailored Approaches to Self Leadership written by Grant Bosnick and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-26 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a uniquely adaptable approach to develop awareness (of self, others and one’s environment) of self-leadership through real behavioral change. Through neuroscience, psychology and behavioral science approaches, each chapter will help readers make their learning and development personal and take it to a deeper level. With a tip of the hat to the gamebook format where you choose your adventure, readers are encouraged to take an original online self-assessment quiz to determine the challenges and priorities they are presently facing. The quiz then provides a suggested reading order of chapters to address these growth areas. Each of the 18 chapters explores a different theme related to self-leadership and are written in such a way that one can read them in any order. Filled with practical activities, reflective questions and personal anecdotes, Bosnick encourages readers to understand behavior from the "inside-out" of neuroscience and how the brain works, while also keeping an eye on the "outside-in:" how we understand others and how others see us. Combining research-backed principles with tried-and-tested exercises, this is a book tailored for leaders of all levels, professionals in a transitory phase of their career, as well as those just starting out in the working world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them? The Leader in Meis that programme. It's based on a hugely successful initiative carried out at the A.B. Combs Elementary School in North Carolina. To hear the parents of A. B Combs talk about the school is to be amazed. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleto a pilot group of students. The parents reported an incredible change in their children, who blossomed under the programme. By the end of the following year the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 94. This book will launch the message onto a much larger platform. Stephen R. Covey takes the 7 Habits, that have already changed the lives of millions of people, and shows how children can use them as they develop. Those habits -- be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand and then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw -- are critical skills to learn at a young age and bring incredible results, proving that it's never too early to teach someone how to live well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five practical steps to enhance organization effectiveness on a global scale Bridging Organization Design and Performance is a handbook for leaders looking to enhance the success of their organizations and themselves. Companies that compete globally require organizational operating models as robust as their strategies. Many companies have created elegant designs and consider their worldwide, matrix organizations sources of competitive advantage. However, the reality is that these complex structures bring many challenges and senior executives are often frustrated by the difficulties of delivering growth in organizations that span numerous brands, products, and geographic regions. After working closely with over twenty large US and Europe based global companies during the past decade, Gregory Kesler and Amy Kates concluded that the problem is not in the fundamental design of these operating models. The matrix is not going away. The challenge is to effectively and completely activate the organization to deliver the strategy. This book shares the five practical actions that bring complex organizations to life and help companies gain sustainable results from their global operating models.

Download or read book All The World s A Stage A Personal Branding Story written by Ambi Parameswaran and published by Westland. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book A CONCISE, CRUCIAL GUIDE TO THE WHAT, WHY AND HOW OF PERSONAL BRAND BUILDING A brand is an identity—and it is certainly not restricted to products. Allow Ambi, Shankar, Rita, Kunal and Joe, who are back in college for their silver reunion, to bring alive for you the notion of people as brands. As they walk through the campus, rediscovering old haunts, the friends enter into an animated discussion. Their conversation offers keen insights into how each individual has a unique brand, which must be as thoughtfully cultivated as product brands are. Personal brands can be both a factor and a marker of success. As businesses compete, the personal branding of a company’s leadership can influence how well it performs. Similarly, how a new hire brands herself could alter the opportunities that open up for her, and so also her career path. In short, individuals—and how others perceive them—matter. Defining a personal brand, crafting a presence, developing a unique voice, building a network, using social media creatively and more: in All the World’s a Stage, Ambi Parameswaran offers a concrete roadmap towards brand building that will give you an unmatched strategic advantage. This book is a concise, crucial guide to our frenetic times.
