It's the Subtleties that Matter!
What is the real difference between competent leader and extraordinary
executive? Is it pedigree, experience, intelligence? The answer is
yes...and much more. Exceptional leadership hinges on a complex
interaction between individual psychology and unique business needs. At
the top rung of the ladder, where the dynamics are most complicated,
subtle adjustments in style can produce outstanding results.
In his new book, The Intangibles of Leadership, Management
Psychologist Richard Davis, Ph.D., uncovers patterns in the attributes
that truly distinguish those who succeed at the top. What he found was
that extraordinary leaders possess certain characteristics that fall
between the lines of existing leadership models, yet are fundamental to
executive success. Davis explains each of these qualities, the people
who exemplify them, how to detect them in others, and most importantly,
how to develop the subtle characteristics that will enable them to stand
out from the pack.
