Leadership Wisdom
25 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
This is a good introductory book into the principles and practice of leadership. It teaches about the leadership skills that are critical in today's highly dynamic operating environment where change is the only constant. In this case, it is essential to have leaders (rather than managers) who can provide the vision for the organization, show the direction and motivate people towards the realization of the vision.
The author clearly explains the critical attributes of a leader which include team building, good communication skills, decision making ability, and the ability to motivate and coach others for the effective accomplishment of goals.
The book is a good investment for those who in leadership positions, particularly those who are at the beginning of their careers in this field without much experience or previous training. The author gives useful tips which are excellent guide readers. The checklist at the end of each chapter is a useful tool to reinforce what the reader would have studied in the text.

Interesting and useful book!
3 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
Leadership Skills for Managers is filled with valuable tips, revealing self-assessments, and probing questions. And, every chapter ends with a checklist that I found very useful. Best of all, though, were the inserts scattered throughout the chapters. "Henry's Hubris," for example, was an example of Smart Managing: it showed that when corporate spies went skulking around, trying to catch managers making decisions, productivity declined, as did morale. These short, interesting inclusions alone were worth the price of the book.

A Real Must for Effective Managers Today
3 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
Dr. Marlene Caroselli has done it again! Each chapter is full of excellent tips for today's manager. My favorite, though, concerned the leader as communicator..the line that said when Cicero spoke, men marveled, but when Caesar spoke, men marched. Getting "your men to march" to be successful in achieving your management goals is imperative to a good manager...it gave me some serious and thoughtful ideas to get my "staff to march." A real must for a successful manager...Thank you Dr. Caroselli!
