Few would question that there is a leadership crisis in our time. This problem is not just political, but also spiritual and moral dilemma that touches every institution in society, from business and government to education and religion. In The Pillars of Leadership, David J. Vaughan addresses the issue of sound leadership by looking at the lives of great leaders who dramatically affected their own eras in many areas of life and by suggesting ways that we can learn from them today.
"Unleashed is worth an afternoon of your time, whether or not you are already a leader. It is sparkily written and personal, drawing on the experiences of co-authors (and spouses) Frei and Morriss."— Financial Times Leadership isn't easy. It takes grit, courage, and vision, among other things, that can be hard to come by on your toughest days. When leaders and aspiring leaders seek out advice, they're often told to try harder. Dig deeper. Look in the mirror and own your natural-born strengths and fix any real or perceived career-limiting deficiencies. Frances Frei and Anne Morriss offer a different worldview. They argue that this popular leadership advice glosses over the most important thing you do as a leader: build others up. Leadership isn't about you. It's about how effective you are at empowering other people—and making sure this impact endures even in your absence. As Frei and Morriss show through inspiring stories from ancient Rome to present-day Silicon Valley, the origins of great leadership are found, paradoxically, not in worrying about your own status and advancement, but in the unrelenting focus on other people's potential. Unleashed provides radical advice for the practice of leadership today. Showing how the boldest, most effective leaders use a special combination of trust, love, and belonging to create an environment in which other people can excel, Frei and Morriss offer practical, battle-tested tools—based on their work with companies such as Uber, Riot Games, WeWork, and others—along with interviews and stories from their own personal experience, to make these ideas come alive. This book is your indispensable guide for unleashing greatness in other people . . . and, ultimately, in yourself. To learn more, please visit theleadersguide.com.
Without trust, people and businesses fail. Trusted Leader provides a framework for building trust so that you and your organizations can perform at your best. “A lack of trust is your biggest expense,” says Wall Street Journal bestselling author David Horsager. Without trust, transactions cannot occur. Without trust, influence is destroyed. Without trust, leaders lose their people. Trust can be either your most vulnerable weakness or your greatest asset. Horsager introduces readers to his Eight Pillars of Trust through the journey of a senior leader who thought success was certain. Follow CEO Ethan Parker as he discovers the power of trust and how to apply it amid the complexities of leadership, change, and culture transformation. The Eight Pillars of Trust (Clarity, Compassion, Character, Competency, Commitment, Connection, Contribution, and Consistency) are based on Horsager's original research and extensive experience working with Fortune 500 companies and top government agencies around the globe. In addition to the business parable, this book is rich in practical advice for implementing each of the Eight Pillars. You will learn strategies to increase alignment, overcome attrition, and get absolutely clear on executing your top priorities. Horsager offers a road map for how to become the most trusted expert in your industry.
This is a breezy and sometimes funny kind of leadership book. It uses storytelling to highlight memorable and challenging leadership concepts presented in an easy-to-read fashion. Highlighting epic events like 9/11, Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Katrina and soldier deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, the author discusses leadership concepts in a straightforward and understandable way. Since there is nothing new under the sun, why are so many leaders confused and baffled in certain situations? Why do leaders have problems making decisions about weather-related events? Why do they blunder when issuing judgments about developments like aggression and power struggles? Why is there always floundering when dealing with pandemics like SARS, Ebola and COVID-19? Why do bad business mergers, economic depressions and massive civil unrest occur, when they very easily could be prevented? These, and many other like-minded questions, are answered in this book. When leaders: -are not selfless, -are not well read or good students of history-do not have a diversified leadership tool box-are fearful of making crucial decisions-do not listen, and/or-are not intelligent (do not have the ability to make associations from two or more unrelated events/situations)......CHAOS inevitably ensues!This book sheds light on these topics and gives you the ammunition to deal with what have become some of life's biggest challenges.

The Great Game of Business by Jack Stack,Bo Burlingham Pdf
In the early 1980s, Springfield Remanufacturing Corporation (SRC) in Springfield, Missouri, was a near bankrupt division of International Harvester. Today it's one of the most successful and competitive companies in the United States, with a share price 3000 times what it was thirty years ago. This miracle turnaround is all down to one man, Jack Stack, and his revolutionary system of Open-Book Management, in which every employee understands the company's key figures, can act on them and has a real stake in the business. In Stack's own words: 'When employees think, act and feel like owners ... everybody wins.'
