Commonsense - Wisdom - Leadership - Stephen MS Hiss

Successful managers are those who exercise their intellect, wisdom, and understanding of human nature to accomplish organizational objectives and goals. Commonsense – Wisdom – Leadership combines the timeless insights of Aesop’s Fables with the sage advice of an experienced manager. An entertaining, insightful, and powerful read, Commonsense – Wisdom – Leadership is sure to enhance a leader’s on-the-job effectiveness.

Aesop’s Fables are known around the world for the valuable lessons they teach about expectations that are embedded in us all. These simple and powerful stories have survived for thousands of years because as much as the world around us has changed, our basic human expectations of behavior have not. Hiss shows how managers can use the essential core messages in ten selected fables, along with case studies and discussions to strengthen employee morale, address operations problems effectively, and improve overall workplace efficiency.

In COMMONSENSE – WISDOM – LEADERSHIP, author Stephen Hiss shows what the simple truths of the fables tell us about solving problems in today’s complex and challenging work environment. After each selected fable, he creates a real-world management problem drawn from his thirty years of leadership experience. Hiss then shows how the lesson of the fable can be applied to solve the most challenging operational circumstances.
