WINNER: CMI Management Book of the Year 2013 - New Manager Category
(previous edition)
The Leadership Skills Handbook from best-selling author Jo
Owen reveals the essential skills you need to be an effective leader.
It shows you what works in practice, not in theory, in crucial areas
such as people skills, career skills, mindset skills, organization
skills, personal values and behaviours. Each skill is presented in a
concise, easy to follow format, with an accompanying framework to help
you deploy it in your own life. The skills are about the real challenges
real leaders must master, and as you observe and record real-life
examples of skills in action, you will be developing your own unique
formula for success in the context that matters to you.
Based on research from over a thousand leaders throughout the world at
all levels in the public, private and voluntary sectors, The
Leadership Skills Handbook identifies the practical skills to make
you even more successful, and offers guidance on all key topics. This
updated new edition includes exclusive new content on the changing
demands of leadership in the 21st century and 10 whole new skills. These
include the need to influence rather than control, how you get people to
commit to your vision rather than comply and how career is no longer a
noun but a verb for new generations of workers.
