The best leaders are born, not made. The best leaders are always in
control. The best leaders are those with the highest IQs. But are they
really?
The thinking about what makes the greatest leaders is increasingly
muddled by stereotypes, false promises and pseudo-science. The best
leaders rely on fact, not fads. Myths of Leadership blasts away
the fluff and confronts false legends head on. Jo Owen uses the most
credible research to analyze each myth, using international business
case studies, leadership theory and insightful interviews, to uncover
the truth.
This is a compelling examination of the most pervasive misconceptions
about leadership that will help you elevate your own leadership
abilities, better inspire your team and empower your organization by
thinking differently. Entertaining and accessible Myths of
Leadership throws out the management jargon and skewers over-hyped
leadership trends to bring you the best practical tips you need to
become a better leader.
