Who would be an expert in a world   where expertise is under siege? Hard-won know-how and experience seem to   count for nothing in the eyes of everyone from high-profile business leaders   to populist politicians. But what evidence do we have that this   perception is right?   Amanda Goodall has been asking this   question for the last twenty years. Her research has taken her from   boardrooms and F1 race tracks to hospitals and higher education. She has   proven time and again that, when it comes to top performance, we need people -   especially bosses - with the expertise that only comes from a deep   understanding of the worlds in which they operate.  That's what makes the people around   them feel happier, better appreciated and more productive.  In Credible, Goodall   identifies the key characteristics of expert leaders and provides a model for   career development and success based on going deep into a business, working   hard and knowing your stuff.  We all want to be led by people we can   relate to and trust, people who have the credibility to make us want to   follow them. When it comes to credible leadership, expertise really   matters.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49553379524881,"sku":"GOR013142052","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49747531890961,"sku":"NGR9781529365191","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51407336374545,"sku":"GOR014261775","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B0BS1ZM8FG.jpg?v=1750957907"},{"product_id":"credible-book-amanda-goodall-9781529365214","title":"Credible","description":"WINNER OF THE SABEW MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP BUSINESS BOOK AWARD  'Thought-provoking' Wall Street Journal  'A must-read' Donald C.

By debunking the cult of managerialism (the notion that smart people can run anything and the emphasis on leadership personality), Goodall reshapes our understanding of bosses and the traits necessary for organizational success. She identifies the key characteristics of expert leaders and provides a real and grossly underappreciated model for career success: \"go deep into a business, work hard, pay attention, and know your stuff.\" Those who run hospitals and healthcare systems, for example, should be physicians with deep clinical expertise, not financiers or people parachuted in from other industries. Those who run school systems and universities need to understand from experience the stress of balancing teaching, research, and student welfare\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCredible\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates categorically that expertise matters more than ever and that we need our leaders to be experts with a deep, understanding of their organizations from many years spent learning the business and working their way up the ladder.
