MASTER THE 4 KEY TENETS OF LEADERSHIP--AND CREATE A "RIPPLE EFFECT" OF POSITIVE CHANGE.

A CRASH COURSE IN LEADERSHIP THAT REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Whether you're a manager, executive, or CEO, leadership matters. Whether you're running a large global firm or a small project team, it's the way you communicate and connect to other people that can make or break your success. The secret, according to Roxi Bahar Hewertson, is to make those connections count--to leverage your skills and play on your strengths--to lead like it matters…because it does.

A virtual crash course in leadership, Lead Like ItMatters…Because It Does combines three decades of experience and research with Hewertson's revolutionarywork at Cornell to create the definitive workbook. Learn how to:

  • Assess your leadership style and skill set--and make adjustments
  • Create constructive dialogues including "managing up" and delegation
  • Cut wasteful meetings out of your life and lead productive ones
  • Address common interpersonal conflicts, quickly and gracefully
  • Increase productivity, team effectiveness, and accountability
  • Lead change initiatives that aren't dead on arrival, but ready for takeoff

As an executive coach, Hewertson knows how to pinpoint the problems, pressures, and pain points that plague managers at every level--and shows you how to fix them. You'll discover the "ripple effect" that negative leadership choices can have throughout an organization--and how to make positive ripples with clear intent and powerful impact. You'll find a wealth of practical, user-ready tips for handling conflicts, reducing turnover,making confident decisions, and instituting changes in the workplace. This book is packed with handy charts, helpful questionnaires, step-by-step checklists, and other must-haves--it's your own personal toolbox of field-tested techniques, right at your fingertips.

Take charge of your future. Build the best team you can. Make changes that count. Lead Like It Matters…Because It Does.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great starting point for a lifelong leadership journey
    Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2014

    Today, we continue to have a few great leaders, some pretty good leaders, and bucket loads of people in positions of authority who are mediocre, incompetent, or worse at leadership, according to Roxi Bahar Hewertson in this book. Even though we know that leaders have a significant impact on people’s lives and well-being, we allow them to operate in their sphere of influence without having to prove that they have the skill set or the integrity to lead anyone anywhere.

    The book aims to provide the reader with practical tools and skills for raising leadership abilities, dividing the content into four main categories:

    • Personal mastery, which includes emotional intelligence, understanding your personality type, and your personal mission, vision and values;
    • Interpersonal mastery, which includes deep listening, giving constructive feedback, managing up and conflict resolution;
    • Team mastery, which includes group dynamics, decision making, delegation, running meetings, and building trust; and
    • Culture and systems mastery, which includes cultural analysis, leading change, accountability, recognition, and courage.

    I found this to be a very useful leadership textbook. The content is at a fairly basic level, and there are no revolutionary new ideas, but the book gives a good and accurate overview of the different facets of leadership. There are numerous exercises which give the reader a taste of various leadership tools, although mastery will require much deeper levels of study and practice. Reading the book will not make the reader a great leader, but it will at least point him or her in the right direction for a lifelong journey.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Mixed
    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2015
    Another day, another business leadership book! This time it is promised that with four key tenets of leadership you can create a ripple effect of positive change and really make a difference.

    One key area of leadership – in whatever part of life – is the ability to attract, inspire and well… lead. This book didn’t do that for this reviewer, it didn’t form that connection that would get you on-board and ready to follow the leader in whatever mission they might have. Different things can work for different people.

    It would be wrong to write this book off entirely. It could be best described as a well-performing middle manager, knowledgeable and trustworthy, yet it wasn’t a charismatic, enthused, focussed leader. Some of the analytical exercises are quite good, it forces you to reconsider the how and why of leadership and it didn’t need to resort to hyperbole and unrealistic promises that you will be the next global CEO within 21 days. Maybe it delivers what it says on the tin, maybe it is a good additional resource but it just isn’t necessarily that extra “little something” that true leaders seem to just have in spades.

    Some of the parts are quite thought-provoking, such as this in the introduction: “You would not let a surgeon operate without her proving that she had the necessary skill set to preserve human life. Yet, even though we know that leaders have a significant impact on people’s lives and well being, we allow them to operate in their sphere of influence without having to prove that they have the skill set or the integrity to lead anyone anywhere.” That’s right on the money. Text like this is why it is difficult to slate the book and why, at least to this reviewer, whilst it is not an alpha-male leader, it is still a good secondary level executive you might want on your team. Just manage your expectations accordingly and if you form that connection with it then you’ve got a bonus, a great deal and yet for the rest of us it is still a good performer and part of the team.

    The book is reasonably priced. You will pick up a fair bit of knowledge, but as to whether it will be a revolution rather than an evolution…?
