      Leaders (and those that aspire to lead) at all levels in organizations are interested in succeeding, and yet, as these coaches to the cream of the crop explain, they sabotage their own success even the best and brightest fail at their efforts because they succumb to certain derailing behaviors : the eleven deadly sins. While the authors point out that these same behaviours might have gotten them to where they are to a certain extent -- at a certain point they cease to be positive and can turn negative and totally damanging to the unaware leader.  The authors, both psychologists, will name and illustrate the eleven sins with real stories taken from behind their closed door practice. Cogent, straight and crisply written these short chapters will offer insight and inspiration for all leaders who may struggle with their dark sid and be both a useful and fascinating read that will leave many recognizing themselves and the traps they can avoid to their own success.

      Leading Out Loud: Inspiring Change Through Authentic Communications

      Terry Pearce
      4/5 - 1 rating
      4/5 - 1 rating

      Much has changed in the business world since the original publication of Leading Out Loud, Terry Pearces classic on authentic leadership communication. Now more than ever, the development of a leaders message is as crucial to success as the delivery of that message. In this new and revised edition, Pearce explains that the events of recent years, including the September 11 tragedy and numerous corporate scandals, have caused a loss of confidence and increased the importance of authenticity in leadership and building loyalty to organizations. The revised edition still shows leaders in business, politics, and non-profit how to communicate their values and vision to inspire commitment, providing action steps and techniques and analyzing speeches by well-known leaders to give readers concrete methods for improving their communication. But Pearce also focuses more on everyday, spontaneous communication, and how to develop a message that works in any situation. He explores the internal work necessary to create an honest and compelling vision, and demonstrates how readers can find their authentic voices and articulate their messages with confidence.

      4/5 - 1 rating

      The book is a new approach to leadership development, based on ground-breaking scientific research, field-tested under the most brutal conditions on the most difficult summits, and successfully applied in the training of executives, management teams and entrepreneurs throughout the world.  Each chapter takes one core lesson and approaches it from three points of view. First, the authors introduce a key leadership principle learned from expeditions in the Himalayas and Andes. Then they bring these lessons to the world of business, with examples from their experiences in coaching entrepreneurs and business management teams. Finally, the authors look at the science behind these winning strategies, exploring these principles at their fundamental level. Each chapter concludes with a workbook-style summary, laying out the chapter's key points as a summarized, plan-of-attack blueprint that will help the reader: master the courage and skill to approach leadership from a practical perspective, overcome persistent barriers to performance, understand the source of dysfunctional behaviors that plague organizations and learn how to overcome and redirect them into productive results, understand why chronic management problems exist, where and why they originate and what to do about them, enrich profits, markets and organizational culture.
