- Summary:
- Based on extensive research, this book challenges accepted 'norms' and establishes the 7 key competencies required for successful leadership today This challenging book is based on research carried out over seven years with over 2,500 senior managers in ten different companies, in USA and Europe. Michael Williams establishes and explains the 7 key competency clusters that matter most today: * Goal orientation * Integrity * Close engagement with others * 'Helicopter' perception * Resilient resourcefulness * Personal 'horsepower' * Resonant communications He also shows how much talent lies untapped in organisations and proposes methods of mobilising all this potential. He demonstrates how, for ultimate success, the key competencies need to be linked closely to: * Personal consistency * Discipline and Integrity * Intolerance of mediocrity * A concern to build mutual trust * Focused passion for the business * Recognition of the importance of emotional intelligence CONTENTS Close-quarter leadership Leadership theories, models - and common sense Leadership and the achievement ethic 'Buy-in', not by-pass: the rules of engagement Great leaders develop more great leaders Leading innovation - taking the organisation forward Leadership - a matter of mindset Making it happen - the leader's job THE AUTHOR Michael Williams has been a successful consultant for 25 years, specialising in leadership, team and organisational development.
