5.0 out of 5 stars
Definitely not another management 'how to',
By
This review is from: Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?: What It Takes To Be An Authentic Leader (Hardcover)
If you want to be told how to lead then this book is not for you, but if you want to read how the best do it then this book is for you. This book distils the key skills that it takes to be a greater leader and then using real leaders explains how those people demonstrated those skills. The leaders selected are multination and include a few British leaders thus allowing the UK reader to contrast the skills discussed with their perception of that person.
I was given this book as part of a leadership training program and to be honest flicking through it during a break thought that it looked dry and uninteresting. But once I started reading the book I found it very engaging and interesting. It has made me question my own leadership style and has highlighted areas that I need to work on. The main strength of the book is that it leaves the reader free to develop the ideas and create their own leadership style.

Leaders and Followers,

This review is from: Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?: What It Takes To Be An Authentic Leader (Hardcover)
Very simply, this is a must read for anyone interested in self development or business books. Goffee and Jones have managed to shift the emphasis from the traits and characteristics of the leader as an individual to focus more on the interaction of the leader with the followers. Very easy to read and simple messages throughout. Highly recommended.

A landmark book on the nature of leadership,
By
This review is from: Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?: What It Takes To Be An Authentic Leader (Hardcover)
This is a truly landmark book for anyone who aspires to lead, whether in business or any other walk of life.
Goes much deeper than the usual management tips and techniques books and forces you to consider what kind of person people naturally want to follow. Not instructional as such, but if you want to be a leader, and most importantly, if you aspire to be a "great leader that people will be inspired by and follow", then this book is going to be very important. It doesn't prescribe the specific traits you need, but focuses on the behaviours that cause people to willingly follow great leaders. How you use these insights and weave your own personal leadership style is up to you, and will require a deep appreciation and understanding of both yourself, and especially those that you aspire to lead.
