Synopsis

Crack the leadership code--and take your leadership to the next level.

What makes a great leader? It's a question that has been tackled by thousands. In fact, there are literally tens of thousands of leadership studies, theories, frameworks, models, and recommended best practices. But where are the clear, simple answers we need for our daily work lives? Are there any?

Dave Ulrich, Norm Smallwood, and Kate Sweetman set out to answer these questions--to crack the code of leadership. Drawing on decades of research experience, the authors conducted extensive interviews with a variety of respected CEOs, academics, experienced executives, and seasoned consultants -- and heard the same five essentials repeated again and again. These five rules became The Leadership Code.

In The Leadership Code, the authors break down great leadership into day-to-day actions, so that you know what to do Monday morning.

Leadership matters because people matter: “We have all experienced a gifted leader who engaged all......more

Goodreads review by Oyin on October 22, 2011

This book comes in really handy if you fall into the kind of leadership positions it targets. It focuses a lot on executives/managers and people in some sort of authority role. They also provide very good ways (exercises inclusive) of looking at leadership and how a person can be an effective leader......more
