Lessons in Leadership by John Adair
The fundamental concepts of leadership that will guide, inspire and reassure aspiring or established leaders. Designed to challenge and inspire anyone who is seeking a deeper understanding of management, Lessons in Leadership provides a series of reflections on the very fundamentals of leadership as a management function. In the midst of current global concerns about the quality of leadership, this book is both a practical handbook and a vital contribution to the ongoing debate about what kind of leadership we should be encouraging in today’s volatile and uncertain world. Sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of the basics in this dynamic sector. To help steer both current and future leaders to greatness, John Adair has distilled his vast experience into 12 key guiding concepts, including: · Leading from the front; · Integrity; · The strategic leader; · Warmth and humanity; and · Sharing dangers and hardships. Leadership and change go hand in hand – but even during times of change, the basic building blocks of leadership remain the same. Lessons in Leadership is the first book in the John Adair Masterclass Series, and it offers guidance, inspiration, reassurance and insight for anyone who is expected to lead or who wants to refresh and sharpen their current leadership practices.
John Adair takes us on an evocative journey from the origins of leadership thought … to reflections on practical wisdom and judgmentIn doing so, he achieves his humble aim of sowing within us the seeds of inspiration. -- Phil James * Chief Executive, The Institute of Leadership & Management *
