Book Synopsis Executive Presence by : Sylvia Ann Hewlett
Download or read book Executive Presence written by Sylvia Ann Hewlett and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you “leadership material?” More importantly, do others perceive you to be? Sylvia Ann Hewlett, a noted expert on workplace power and influence, shows you how to identify and embody the Executive Presence (EP) that you need to succeed. You can have the experience and qualifications of a leader, but without executive presence, you won't advance. EP is an amalgam of qualities that true leaders exude, a presence that telegraphs you're in charge or deserve to be. Articulating those qualities isn't easy, however. Based on a nationwide survey of college graduates working across a range of sectors and occupations, Sylvia Hewlett and the Center for Talent Innovation discovered that EP is a dynamic, cohesive mix of appearance, communication, and gravitas. While these elements are not equal, to have true EP, you must know how to use all of them to your advantage. Filled with eye-opening insights, analysis, and practical advice for both men and women, mixed with illustrative examples from executives learning to use the EP, Executive Presence will help you make the leap from working like an executive to feeling like an executive.

Book Synopsis Leading the Executive Branch by : Elizabeth D. Brown
Download or read book Leading the Executive Branch written by Elizabeth D. Brown and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors examine some of the key strategies past presidents have used to lead the departments and agencies of the Executive Branch. Although centralizing power among the White House staff became the preferred alternative during the 20th century, the authors argue that this strategy insulates the president from valuable knowledge and experience in the departments and agencies. This shortcoming, combined with the unchecked proliferation of departments and agencies, has made it difficult for the president to develop meaningful, trusting relationships with each cabinet member. A comprehensive reorganization, such as the one recommended in 2003 by the National Commission on the Public Service (also known as the Volcker Commission) cold redress some of the inherent limitations of centralizing power in the white House. Reducing the number of cabinet secretaries, for instance, could improve the chances that these secretaries will develop more effective, direct, and hands-on relationships with future presidents. Missing from the case for comprehensive reorganization, however, is a systematic study of cabinet agency performance. Before launching into large-scale reorganization, a careful inquiry should be undertaken of the successes and failures of the largest cabinet agencies: the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security.

Is it based on your IQ? What exactly does it take to climb the infamous corporate ladder? These questions are not easily answered because of the inherent politics in corporations.

The good news is that corporate "political" skills are learned skills. This book reveals how several successful executives managed to excel when faced with difficult corporate challenges. This book takes the unique approach of explaining key success concepts through the use of actual case stories, vignettes and proverbs.You will learn what is referred to as the 8 C's for Corporate Success: - You will discern that being Competent and Credible are not enough. - Why having Core Values can save more than just your job. - How having Charisma and Champions can propel you into the fast lane. - How a Challenge can offer you new opportunities. - Why your Community plays such an important role in your advancement. - How your Communication skills can define your destiny. Individuals can renew, jump start or begin their career by using these leadership methods and tools.

Book Synopsis What a President Should Know by : Lawrence B. Lindsey
Download or read book What a President Should Know written by Lawrence B. Lindsey and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2007-12-06 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The winner of the presidential election will need to get quickly up-to-speed on how to manage the government. What are the likely issues he will encounter on the first day in the Oval Office? What does he do about the cost of the Iraq War? He'll get blamed if there's another terrorist attack, so what does he need to do that first day and the days and weeks to come to realistically and prudently prevent such an attack? How's the economy? What kind of policies can he now really propose based upon the present state of the economy and the tax-base that supports federal programs? He promised during the campaign to tackle big issues like healthcare, education, energy, immigration, international trade, and taxation. If he's going to hold himself to his own campaign rhetoric then he'd better surround himself with political savvy, fiscally astute advisers—like Lindsey and Sumerlin. This book is for the next president of the United States, all the policy-makers-in-waiting, and, most importantly, political junkies who appreciate that these authors were Oval Office advisors and that they understand what it takes to get a new administration up-and-running.

Book Synopsis Presidential Success by : Stanley A. Renshon
Download or read book Presidential Success written by Stanley A. Renshon and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Great" presidents are by definition successful, yet clearly not all successful presidents are great. The "greats" helped win the country's independence (George Washington) and established political principals that guide us today (Thomas Jefferson). They kept the Union intact (Abraham Lincoln), and ushered in the Progressive Era--a political framework that helped define the country's politics for more than a century (Theodore Roosevelt). These are monumental accomplishments, but even presidents deemed "failures" have had some success. So, what actually defines presidential success? Clearly, a new way to understand presidential success is needed. But what are its elements? What kinds of policies, and proposed solutions to public problems, are likely to contribute to presidential success? How is it possible to initiate successful policies when Americans are so divided about what they want, or what government should do? Is a successful president one who bends the public to his or her will, or one who follows the public's lead? These are some of the questions that animate this new, fresh look at the factors for presidential success in a country that has become increasingly divided and despairing of its future. Grounded within political science, psychology, presidential politics, and contemporary American history, this book offers unique commentary and perspectives on these important questions, with analysis leading up to and including the 2016 election.
Book Synopsis It's Time for High-Performance Government by : Howard Risher
Download or read book It's Time for High-Performance Government written by Howard Risher and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership teams taking the reins of government in 2017 will have to overcome the demoralizing effects of years of budget deficits, a heavy loss of talent, frequent criticism, and mounting pressure to ‘do more with less,’ all of which have contributed to declining interest in public sector careers and deteriorating performance. Over the past twenty years there has been a widening gulf between the “people management” practices in the private and public sectors. Change is badly needed but it does not have to start by canceling existing civil service rules. This book argues for rethinking the way public employees are managed. The changes will contribute to a healthier, more productive work environment that once again enables public agencies to attract and motivate a highly qualified workforce. Written by leading experts with decades of experience as managers and consultants, It's Time for High Performance Government provides executives, managers, and elected officials at all levels practical advice to improve government performance.

Book Synopsis The Modern Machiavelli by : Anonymous Executive
Download or read book The Modern Machiavelli written by Anonymous Executive and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-24 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people claim that office politics is a waste of time. That success comes from doing your job. That talent rises by itself. These people are, to put it gently, losers. If you want to succeed, if you want to grow your career beyond entry level, then you need to play the game of office politics. And you need to play it to win. Luckily, this book is here to help you out. There is no discussion of morality, no introspection as to whether office politics is really necessary in the modern workplace. Instead we focus on clear, rational advice so that you can achieve your goals via influencing others. This book is divided into multiple chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of developing and using your political skills. - Chapter 1 introduces the world of office politics and the associated requirements. - Chapter 2 discusses power in the workplace - sources of power, the distinction between formal and informal power, and the chapters you need to read based on your current situation. - Chapter 3 covers the essential skills which are necessary to support any attempt at persuading others or utilising office politics in your plans. - Chapter 4 is devoted to fundamentals and the way they relate to your current situation. It provides hints on decoding your own values, political skill and style, and the organisation which you are a part of. - Chapter 5 looks at initial impressions. It covers the importance of making a competent first impression, tailoring your style to match workplace reputation, and offers hints on fine-tuning external appearance towards professionalism. - Chapter 6 is about creating and maintaining a competent reputation. We look at baseline expectations, moving beyond these, and the surprising benefits you have from being good at meetings. - Chapter 7 involves the art of making and selling good decisions, an essential skill for those who wish to progress upwards in the company. - Chapter 8 is focused on the fundamentals of communication and their impact on office politics - from basic skills and selling ideas through to dealing with or using 'no' and holding tough conversations with others. - Chapter 9 is about managing upwards - to your manager and above. It includes typical manager requirements, dealing with new managers, and a short guide to detecting managerial insanity. - Chapter 10 is all about managing downwards - developing a leadership personality, making the most of your team, taking over a new team, and moving unwanted people on. - Chapter 11 looks at networks. It covers creating, maintaining, and tracking networks for professional development. - Chapter 12 is about influencing others, whether it be picking targets, identifying tradeable currencies, using a suitable strategy, or simply noting typical mistakes newcomers make. - Chapter 13 looks at negotiation. The approach outlined here is as applicable to formal negotiations as it is for quick back-and-forth discussions over a conspiratorial cup of coffee. - Chapter 14 is for when things are going wrong. It examines last-ditch methods for achieving success as well as effective approaches to cover your behind when they inevitably fail. - Chapter 15 is all about moving on. It covers the decision to move onwards, the art of negotiation for your new role, and a set of tell-tale signs that firings and lay-offs are coming in. - Finally Chapter 16 provides a summary of typical political shenanigans which you will encounter and (most likely) try to use on other colleagues. Ready to learn? Then read on.
