A roadmap to success for tomorrow's leaders
The EQ Leader provides an evidence-based model for exceptional
leadership, and a four-pillar roadmap for real-world practice. Data
collected from thousands of the world's best leaders--and their
subordinates--reveals the keys to success: authenticity, coaching,
insight, and innovation. By incorporating these methods into their
everyday workflow, these leaders have propelled their teams to heights
great enough to highlight the divide between successful and
not-so-successful leadership. This book shows you how to put these key
factors to work in your own practice, with clear examples and concrete
steps for improving skills and competencies. New data from the author's
own research into executive functioning describes the neurological
aspects of leadership, and a deep look at the leaders of tomorrow delves
into the fundamental differences that set them apart--and fuel their
achievement.
Leadership is changing, both in look and practice; strictly
authoritative approaches are quickly losing ground as today's workers
discover the power of collaboration and the importance of interpersonal
awareness. This book provides step-by-step guidance for leading from
within this space, with evidence-based approaches for success.
- Lead authentically to inspire and motivate others
- Support employee's needs and nurture development
- Communicate with purpose, meaning, and vision
- Foster ingenuity, imagination, and autonomous thinking
An organization's success rests on the backs of its leadership. At all
levels, true leadership is about much more than management and task
distribution--it's about commitment, collaboration, nurturing talent,
developing skills, fostering relationships, and so much more. The EQ
Leader integrates the essential factors of successful leadership into a
concrete blueprint for the future's leaders.
