Leadership Levers: Releasing the Power of Relationships for Exceptional Participation, Alignment, and Team Results
Autor Diana Jonesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 noi 2021
There's an epidemic of leadership failure--whether something as small as a meeting, or as large as implementing enterprise wide change. Leaders know that sinking feeling when a gap emerges between themselves and the groups they most need to engage with. Leaders and business schools are looking in the wrong places for the cause.
What holds most leaders back, as if their foot is always on the brake, is their failure to engage, and gain alignment. This book shows the reasons why.
Leaders rarely recognise that:
1. Shaping group behavior is describable as a process, which they can learn. Instead, they unconsciously fall into relationship patterns influenced by early family experiences.
2. Informal relationship patterns have a dramatic effect on results, which is why birds in flight manage to alter course without bumping into each other.
Leadership and collaboration are primarily a matter of principles and process, and not personality and content alone. If leaders master the process, they achieve consistent results.
This book reveals the leadership levers to release the power of relationships for exceptional participation, alignment and results in organizations. It enables leaders to mine the brilliance that often lies dormant and untapped within their organizations. Readers will have the principles and tools to go beyond the agenda, truly engage with those around them, and release untapped capacities within their organizations. These qualities and skills will inspire associates and employees.

Recenzii
-- Constance Dierickx, Ph.D., The Decision Doctor®
Diana Jones helps us to see the invisible cords of leadership - it's not the job title or mastery of content that matters, but mastery of relationships. This book is full of insights into how we can better understand and dramatically influence the interpersonal dynamics of the leadership challenge.
-- Murray Sherwin, Former Chair of the New Zealand Productivity Commission
Leadership Levers is a landmark book. Diana Jones makes the invisible visible, slaughters the sacred cows of "engagement" and ‘"consensus," and truly shows how to release untapped potential in organisations.
-- Andrew Hollo, Author of From Impossible to Possible
Diana compellingly articulates what we might intuitively know but struggle to describe. She makes the case for leadership of both the head and the heart, then methodically sets about explaining how to go about this - whether she is talking about navigating the complexity of multi-force stakeholder dynamics, the direct relationship between purpose and results, or shifting the way we should think about meetings. Insightful and pragmatic, Leadership Levers stands out both new leaders and the experienced who are wondering why they are struggling to get results.
– Susan Freeman-Greene, CEO, Local Government New Zealand
