Book Synopsis Humility As Enlightened Leadership by : Verl Anderson
Download or read book Humility As Enlightened Leadership written by Verl Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-22 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As leaders and organizations struggle to achieve and maintain a competitive advantage, the challenges that they face inevitably are dependent upon the people with whom they work and assisting those people to become their absolute best. Creating interpersonal relationships and an organizational culture that empowers employees require that leaders model the values that they proclaim to others and that they create organizational systems that support those same values.Enlightened leaders recognize that their primary responsibility is to support those whom they lead and serve. An organizations goals must be focused on creating long-term value for customers. Competing in the modern global environment demands that employees throughout the organization are committed to excellence and are given the resources and opportunity to become their absolute best. Excellence can only be achieved when individuals and organizations go the extra mile as well as when employees are treated as owners and partners in the quest for constant improvement.This book identifies the importance of humility as it contributes to enlightened leadership. Leaders with humility understand who they are, care deeply about others, and are committed to constant learning and improvement. In the pages that follow, the authors identify the contribution that humility makes to enlightened leadership and describe how humility supports key factors essential to successful organizations. Leaders can achieve great things when they discover their highest potential, when they assist others to become their best, and when they constantly seek to improve. Humility unlocks the potential in leaders and in the employees that they serve.

Book Synopsis No-Drama Leadership by : Marlene Chism
Download or read book No-Drama Leadership written by Marlene Chism and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choice. Power. Speed. Today's leaders continually face these forces. But with too many choices, too much power, and too much speed, leaders often make decisions in a heightened state of emotion (and drama). Hasty decisions are often poor ones and in this climate there is no place to hide. Privacy is a thing of the past; the days of covering up or ignoring a problem are over. In today's transparent culture, the decision making of leaders is more vulnerable then ever-and it is more critical than ever to get it right. Marlene Chism's No-Drama Leadership introduces just the model the corporate world needs. Using case studies, checklists, and examples from various levels of hierarchy in leadership and from a variety of industries, Chism introduces the mindset shifts and practical skills needed to develop enlightened leaders, whose decision making flows from a much more grounded and aligned place. You will learn how to: Identify the signs of misalignment Increase your leadership effectiveness Use four quadrants of change as a catalyst for leadership growth Increase employee engagement Tap into the gifts and talents of your employees Communicate strategically Create a culture of accountability Increase innovation and productivity through empowerment Today's leader needs more than position, power, or business acumen. Today's leader needs more than self-management, communication skills, or emotional intelligence. We need leaders who are aligned, aware, and accountable, who balance choice and power with wisdom and responsibility-leaders who embrace and embody both the inner game of leadership growth with the outer game of business results, modeling both the mindsets and actions that transform the cultures they lead.

Book Synopsis Enlightened Leaders by : Penny Sophocleous
Download or read book Enlightened Leaders written by Penny Sophocleous and published by The Endless Bookcase Ltd. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doing the right thing for people, as well as for organisations Over the last 400 years, corporations and the people who lead them seem to have gradually forgotten that the ‘value to shareholders’ they are all ruthlessly chasing is actually delivered by human beings, for human beings and within communities of human beings – each and every one of whom are coded to operate with Truth, Respect, Trust, Justice and Integrity. Penny Sophocleous highlights how to utilise the principles coded into the DNA of people that generate laws and rules common to all and which organisations ignore at their peril. The economic crisis and its far ranging negative impacts are a warning that the current business code makes corporations sick by their focus on only the bottom line. The book challenges leaders to realign their teams, their organisational structures, their suppliers and their relationships to the world in order to unleash peoples’ innate creativity, innovation and talent. Sustainable success into the future will rely upon these principles being understood and promoted by enlightened leaders. Leaders get access to many questionnaires to help them get clear on the ethics and standards they need to create principle centred organisations, along with the processes and activities to embed for sustainable success. Case studies of several principle centred organisations provide real-world success stories and a wealth of detail that leaders will find extremely useful.

Book Synopsis The Enlightened Capitalists by : James O'Toole
Download or read book The Enlightened Capitalists written by James O'Toole and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert on ethical leadership analyzes the complicated history of business people who tried to marry the pursuit of profits with virtuous organizational practices—from British industrialist Robert Owen to American retailer John Cash Penney and jeans maker Levi Strauss to such modern-day entrepreneurs Anita Roddick and Tom Chappell. Today’s business leaders are increasingly pressured by citizens, consumers, and government officials to address urgent social and environmental issues. Although some corporate executives remain deaf to such calls, over the last two centuries, a handful of business leaders in America and Britain have attempted to create business organizations that were both profitable and socially responsible. In The Enlightened Capitalists, James O’Toole tells the largely forgotten stories of men and women who adopted forward-thinking business practices designed to serve the needs of their employees, customers, communities, and the natural environment. They wanted to prove that executives didn’t have to make trade-offs between profit and virtue. Combining a wealth of research and vivid storytelling, O’Toole brings life to historical figures like William Lever, the inventor of bar soap who created the most profitable company in Britain and used his money to greatly improve the lives of his workers and their families. Eventually, he lost control of the company to creditors who promptly terminated the enlightened practices he had initiated—the fate of many idealistic capitalists. As a new generation attempts to address social problems through enlightened organizational leadership, O’Toole explores a major question being posed today in Britain and America: Are virtuous corporate practices compatible with shareholder capitalism?

Book Synopsis Healing Leadership by : Steven Geske
Download or read book Healing Leadership written by Steven Geske and published by . This book was released on 2011-12-29 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One thing is clear about today's leadership model. It's NOT working! We chose "Healing" in the title to describe a new kind of leadership that we propose. We see the present problems in organizations and civilization at large, to be rooted in the destructive "story" we are now living. In the story of humankind, we believe we have moved from living in harmony with the world to having complete control over the world. Hierarchical leadership has caused great damage and even threatens the very existence of our species. If we are to change the story we are living from one of conquest to one of harmony, a call for a new kind of leadership is required. Healing Leadership is that call. Healing Leadership is the culmination of our five-year effort to "deconstruct" the way we, as consultants intuitively work with leaders. Instead of focusing on leverage, motivation and power, we encourage leaders to focus on themselves; to maintain an authentic presence that is non-anxious and does not depend on changing someone else. This approach removes behaviors that inevitably backfire and keeps people and organizations entrenched in the status quo. We believe anyone can benefit from exposure to this way of being intentional about increasing effectiveness as a leader while practicing responsible self-care. In a society where leaders are first idealized then demonized, the role of leader has become increasingly toxic. Those who would dare lead authentically and courageously face a barrage of criticism, gridlock and sabotage. We believe that surviving and thriving in today's "leadership-averse" climate requires a comprehensive approach to building, conserving, investing and protecting personal energy. Healing Leadership proposes what we call the "Energy Management Model" (EMM). This model maps a way of being intentional about the central tasks that are no longer optional for leaders who wish to remain healthy, creative and effective. The Energy Management Model asks three critical questions of every leader: Who am I? Where am I going? Who will go with me? The model offers an organized way of gaining greater awareness around these questions and clarifies critical tasks as the leader seeks to answer them. The model provides a framework for building, preserving and investing personal energy as a way to increase the leader's functioning and maturity in the art of true leadership.

Book Synopsis The Benevolent Dictator by : Justin Hamrick
Download or read book The Benevolent Dictator written by Justin Hamrick and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For too long, "strong leader" has been code for "tyrant." These leaders rule their work empires--and their employees--with an iron fist, micromanaging at every turn, and answering to no one but themselves. The results are predictable: employee burnout, a lack of innovation, and decreased sales. Enter the benevolent dictator. Instead of micromanaging, they rely on trust. Instead of shutting employees out of decision-making, they actively seek out feedback. The benevolent dictator is a servant-leader first and foremost, empowering their employees to think strategically, communicate honestly, and do whatever it takes to satisfy the customer. The benevolent dictator is not afraid to flex their power if need be, but it's never their first option. In The Benevolent Dictator, Justin Hamrick, DSL (Doctor of Strategic Leadership), outlines the strategies and steps any leader at any level can take to become more enlightened and gain long-term loyalty from their followers along the way. The Benevolent Dictator will show you how to motivate and manage those under you without resorting to tyrannical tactics, ultimately leading to a more satisfied staff and happier customers. Whether you work in middle management or the C-Suite, for a Fortune 500 or a mom-and-pop, The Benevolent Dictator can help bring out your very best inner dictator.

Get Unstuck In 1984, Doug Conant was fired without warning and with barely an explanation. He felt hopeless and stuck but, surprisingly, this defeating turn of events turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him. Doug began to consider what might be holding him back from realizing his potential, fulfilling his dreams, and making a bigger impact on the world around him. Embarking on a journey of self-reflection and discovery, he forged a path to revolutionize his leadership and transform his career trajectory. Ultimately, Doug was able to condense his remarkable leadership story into six practical steps. It wasn't until Doug worked through these six steps that he was able to lift his leadership to heights that ultimately brought him career success, joy, and fulfillment. Reach High - Envision Dig Deep - Reflect Lay the Groundwork - Study Design - Plan Build - Practice Reinforce - Improve In The Blueprint, part leadership manifesto, part practical manual, Doug teaches leaders how to work through the same six steps that he used to transform his journey. The six steps are manageable and incremental, designed to fit practically within the pace of busy modern life. Knowing how daunting the prospect of change can be, Doug arms readers with exercises and practices to realistically bring their foundation to life in every situation. Now, today’s leaders who feel stuck and overwhelmed finally have a blueprint for lifting their leadership to make meaningful change in their organizations and in the world.
