Читать книгу Seven Disciplines of A Leader - Wolf Jeff - Страница 12

I wrote this book after being prodded by thousands of people who have attended my speeches and workshops, the hundreds of executives I've coached, and the countless organizations I've worked with in consulting and training. I designed the book to address and answer a critical question: What can you do to improve your leadership?

This book provides you with simple, pragmatic principles, as well as stories and exercises that can make you a more effective leader as you read and apply the book's lessons.

Leadership is not rocket science. It comes down to living and leading by the golden rule: Do unto others as you want them to do unto you.

Through real-life stories and examples, I provide a window into the lessons gleaned in hundreds of coaching sessions. Certain names and details have been omitted to protect clients' identity. I confess that coaching alone wasn't responsible for their successes.

Leadership requires common sense, knowledge, and honesty with people. It's talking – and walking – the talk. Effective leaders learn about the people they lead, they communicate well, they offer relevant feedback and praise, and they give credit to those who deserve it. They are a positive force at work (where people spend most of their time), and create a welcoming, productive environment where people can enjoy their jobs.
