Product Description
What really makes a good business leader? Do you have to be an extraordinarily charismatic hero with a larger than life personality before you can make things happen? What if you’re not? What are the practical and personal lessons of good leadership that will help ordinary managers get the results they want by leading their teams effectively?
Living Leadership 2e has the answers. This insightful and motivating book will help you discover how to make real connections with people, and become an effective leader who makes things happen in the real world.
Built on a unique four-year experiment working alongside real leaders in real businesses, Living Leadership explodes the myth of the charismatic, transformational leader, to show that real progress comes from the dramatically ordinary stuff of leadership.
By observing business leaders in top companies on a day-to-day basis, the authors found out how these top managers really spent their time and how they really made an impact. They saw these leaders holding key discussions with their teams; watched them formulate strategies, plans and visions; observed their behaviours, ambitions and frustrations. What emerged was a powerful set of principles and proven advice for managers everywhere who want to develop their leadership skills.
New to this edition:

Customer Reviews
The book has a clear well worked through structure and it's regular use of concrete, gritty examples greatly helps to bring what are already practical ideas and principles to life even more.
For me, this book is powerful and useful because it is grounded in real coalface research, working alongside leaders in consulting contexts, but rather than offering off-the-shelf abstract models, they pay attention to context, individual character and the needs arising in the situation.
If you're bored of reading cogent books on leadership that are packed full of what seem like great insights, only to find you can never translate them to your context in practical ways, you may just find this is a bit different.
