AAA+++","description":"If you are a manager, supervisor or team Leader, then this book was written for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction to Leadership\u003cbr\u003eNapoleon once said: “One bad general does better than two good ones.” It\u003cbr\u003etakes a moment for the sense of this to register, but it is the same as our\u003cbr\u003emodern saying that “too many cooks spoil the broth”. Having one set of\u003cbr\u003einstructions, even if they are flawed, is preferable to having two sets of perfect\u003cbr\u003edirections that, when enacted together without reference to each other, cause\u003cbr\u003ehavoc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the principle of leadership in a nutshell. It is all about maintaining\u003cbr\u003efocus and creating positive outcomes. The same can be applied to individuals who strive to become leaders. There needs to be focus and determination. Advice can be given, but does not have to be heeded. History is full of leaders whose beginnings were disastrous, and had they listened to the naysayers of this world, the world would be a poorer place today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeadership can be learned. Some people are certainly born with leadership\u003cbr\u003eskills, but this is not a prerequisite for becoming a leader. More important is\u003cbr\u003ededication to the art of leadership. Leadership involves understanding how to\u003cbr\u003einspire, influence and control how people behave. It is not a simple matter of\u003cbr\u003eshouting, or having a deep and booming voice; or being great in physical\u003cbr\u003estature; Gandhi possessed none of these attributes, but managed to lead a\u003cbr\u003enation and inspire millions around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSometimes, leadership may be no more than having a poignant message for a\u003cbr\u003ereceptive audience at an opportune moment. Of itself, leadership is neither\u003cbr\u003egood nor bad; the world has known more than its fair share of evil and\u003cbr\u003echarismatic dictators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003eLegal Disclaimers \u0026amp; Notices ........................................................................... 2\u003cbr\u003eContents ............................................................................................................ 3\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction to Leadership ............................................................................... 4\u003cbr\u003eUnderstanding the Dark Side ........................................................................... 6\u003cbr\u003eHow to Lead and Influence People ................................................................ 10\u003cbr\u003eGetting the Most from Your Team ................................................................. 15\u003cbr\u003e10 Ways to Be a Better Leader ....................................................................... 18\u003cbr\u003eConclusion ...................................................................................................... 21","brand":"BDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080442527984,"sku":"2940014930406","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014930406_p0.jpg?v=1763617005","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014930406","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
