Essential Leadership - Harris Thomas R
- 65 Lessons Every Leader Needs to Know
What if what you've been taught about leadership is wrong or (incomplete)?
With today's mass amount of information in books, blogs, social media, and videos, many people are calling leadership many things - and much of what they say about leadership is wrong.
This confusion about leadership sets many down a path of mediocre leadership (or worse), and they don't even realize it - because it's what they've been taught.
Essential Leadership is about clarifying what leadership is and what it takes to be a great leader, whether you are an executive or CEO, a manager, a small business owner, a boss, or even if you don't have a position but just want to learn how to lead.
Essential Leadership dives into:
- The basics of what leadership is, its purpose, and the difference between leadership and management
- The right mentality to have as a leader (and the common ones that you should avoid)
- The misconceptions many have about leadership (and the truths you need to know)
- The truth about leadership styles that many miss
- Why your preferences and strengths don't matter as much as you think they might
- How to communicate effectively so that you build greater trust and get greater results
- How to show appreciation and give feedback effectively
- The importance of culture and the building blocks of building a great one
- What it really takes to motivate your employees
- How to hire and fire well
- How leaders mess up decision-making, and how to do it well
- How to run effective meetings
- How to deal with mistakes the right way
- How many get delegation wrong and how to do it right
- Why charisma isn't needed for leadership
- Why consensus is not your friend
- Where bureaucracy comes from and what to do instead
- And more
