Control freaks. Narcissists. Slackers. Cynics. Their outbursts, irrational demands, gripes, and countless other disruptions need to be dealt with, and you are the unlucky one with that job description. But every manager has to deal with these people. What separates the great managers is their ability to turn them into productive team players.Leading the Unleadable turns this seemingly difficult chore into a straight-forward process that gently, yet effectively, improves behaviors. And it begins with understanding a core truth: most people actually want to contribute results, not cause headaches. When the manager resets to that fundamental principle, the potential for change can reveal itself in even the most hopeless situations. Written by an insider in the tech industry, where personality issues routinely wreck projects, the book explains how to: Master the necessary mindset Explain the problem calmly in a short feedback session Get a commitment to change, then follow up Coach others to replicate the process Develop the situational awareness required to spot future trouble before it hits Are you a great manager? Of course you believe you are. So don't just put up with your difficult employees. Anyone can do that.

This time, Lencioni weaves his lessons around the story of a troubled Silicon Valley firm and its unexpected choice for a new CEO: an old-school manager who had retired from a traditional manufacturing company two years earlier at age 55. Showing exactly how existing personnel failed to function as a unit, and precisely how the new boss worked to reestablish that essential conduct, the book's first part colorfully illustrates the ways that teamwork can elude even the most dedicated individuals--and be restored by an insightful leader. A second part offers details on Lencioni's \"five dysfunctions\" (absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results), along with a questionnaire for readers to use in evaluating their own teams and specifics to help them understand and overcome these common shortcomings.

Leadership is not a static skill set learned one day and then relied upon and applied for the rest of your career. The Leadership Workout therefore provides you with a 31-day framework to purposefully direct and regularly review your leadership through daily reflection and practice, helping you to refine and further develop your leadership. One facet at a time, one day at a time. For this book to have a real impact on your leadership effectiveness we strongly recommend to not to just read one reflection a day but to actually spend a few minutes each day working through the daily leadership practice which accompanies each reflection. Because only when you connect these reflections to your own experiences as a leader will you gain insights on how you might improve your leadership. Otherwise it will just remain a lot of talk about abstract concepts and it won't have any impact on how you show up as a leader each day. Though we're not going to proclaim that miracles will happen to your leadership effectiveness overnight, we're fairly certain that by the time you get to day 31 you will most likely have made some significant improvements to your leadership effectiveness, resulting from a combination of several small tweaks and perhaps one or two big shifts as a result of one or two real AHA moments driven by these daily reflections and practices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch3 class=\"a-spacing-mini\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2091\/2603\/files\/Brenda_bio_compact.jpg?v=1565227820\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 8px; float: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrenda van Camp-Elmes\u003c\/strong\u003e is the founder and CEO of SharpAlice, a SaaS company which offers a platform that provides a personalized leadership development experience to create digital-era ready leaders .

Collins and his team of researchers began their quest by sorting through a list of 1,435 companies, looking for those that made substantial improvements in their performance over time. They finally settled on 11--including Fannie Mae, Gillette, Walgreens, and Wells Fargo--and discovered common traits that challenged many of the conventional notions of corporate success. Making the transition from good to great doesn't require a high-profile CEO, the latest technology, innovative change management, or even a fine-tuned business strategy. At the heart of those rare and truly great companies was a corporate culture that rigorously found and promoted disciplined people to think and act in a disciplined manner.

To find the keys to greatness, Collins's 21-person research team (at his management research firm) read and coded 6,000 articles, generated more than 2,000 pages of interview transcripts and created 384 megabytes of computer data in a five-year project. That Collins is able to distill the findings into a cogent, well-argued and instructive guide is a testament to his writing skills. After establishing a definition of a good-to-great transition that involves a 10-year fallow period followed by 15 years of increased profits, Collins's crew combed through every company that has made the Fortune 500 (approximately 1,400) and found 11 that met their criteria, including Walgreens, Kimberly Clark and Circuit City. At the heart of the findings about these companies' stellar successes is what Collins calls the Hedgehog Concept, a product or service that leads a company to outshine all worldwide competitors, that drives a company's economic engine and that a company is passionate about. While the companies that achieved greatness were all in different industries, each engaged in versions of Collins's strategies. While some of the overall findings are counterintuitive (e.g., the most effective leaders are humble and strong-willed rather than outgoing), many of Collins's perspectives on running a business are amazingly simple and commonsense. This is not to suggest, however, that executives at all levels wouldn't benefit from reading this book; after all, only 11 companies managed to figure out how to change their B grade to an A on their own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eCopyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"float: left; text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eIn addition to his work in the business sector, Jim has a passion for learning and teaching in the social sectors, including education, healthcare, government, faith-based organizations, social ventures, and cause-driven nonprofits.

With almost three decades of leadership experience in a major law enforcement agency and a current Commander, Yates dissects the ills within and outside the profession in a way you have never heard. Through his detailed research, impeccable story telling and personal experiences, Yates will expose the cowards, reveal the lies and show you how to navigate the chaos that often occurs when cowardly leaders refuse to stand up for the good and decent heroes that wear the badge. This book will not only show you what cowardly leadership can do to law enforcement and their community but also the greatness of what Courageous Police Leadership can achieve. Drawing from the ancient wisdom of Sun Tzu's Art of War, Yates gives targeted and specific advice on how to combat the enemies of law enforcement in a format and style that has never been achieved before. Topics that must be met with courage and explained include training, community policing, race relations, policy, the delusion of demographic parity, social justice  warriors, and how to deal with politics within the profession.

Jim McNeff recommends  The Courageous Police Leader for it's  sage wisdom that will  stand the test of time.Whether you are in law enforcement, in business or a citizen that craves to know how law enforcement can better serve you, this book is for you.Find out what others are saying about  The Courageous Police Leader and how you can play your part in achieving greatness at: www.StopCowards.com.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gr0lj7j5fmU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n \u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eABOUT THE AUTHORS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n \u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2091\/2603\/files\/travis_compact.jpg?v=1565593568\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 8px; float: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTravis Yates\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Founder and CEO of the Courageous Leadership Institute (www.stopcowards.com) and the author of \"The Courageous Police Leader,\" based on his award winning seminar.

He also emphasizes fundamental techniques for handling people without making them feel manipulated. Carnegie says you can make someone want to do what you want them to by seeing the situation from the other person's point of view and \"arousing in the other person an eager want.\" You learn how to make people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, and change people without causing offense or arousing resentment. For instance, \"let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers,\" and \"talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.\" Carnegie illustrates his points with anecdotes of historical figures, leaders of the business world, and everyday folks. \u003ci\u003e--Joan Price\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"productDescriptionWrapper\" dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"productDescriptionWrapper\" dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\"it changed my life\" * Warren Buffet * \"The most successful self-help book of all time...
