WHAT THE BOOK SAYS
This book contains all the important stuff about leading well: motivating people, building networks, selling ideas, influencing people, giving feedback, evaluating people, and learning to be lucky
It takes you through the foundations, practice and mastering of leadership, and makes the point that leaders aren’t necessarily at the top of organisations
The main qualities fall into focusing on people,being positive, and being professional (that means having loyalty, honesty, reliability, solutions, and energy)
Leading from the middle involves finding your way through the matrix. Those who fall by the way are:
the expert (technically competent, but that’s all) cave dweller (territorial) politician (political) boy scout (naïve) autocrat (acts as though they already are a leader)
WHAT’S GOOD ABOUT IT
A survey of 1,000 leaders reveals the qualities they look for in emerging leaders:
adaptability, self-confidence, proactivity, reliability, and ambition
Luck is normally down to practice, persistence, and perspective
There are good quotes to be had here:
“ Many sins are forgivable, but disloyalty is not one of them.”
“An organisation full of Ghengis Khan wannabes is unlikely to be a happy place.”
“It is possible to learn leadership. If you know how to, you are well on the way to success.”
“The successful leader will take on risk, change and ambiguity.”
There is an interesting checklist of what people want from a good boss:
Shows an interest in my career
I trust them – they are honest with me
I know where we are going and how to get there
I am doing a worthwhile job
I am recognized for my contribution
WHAT YOU HAVE TO WATCH
Not much. This is a well-organised and thoughtful book on leadership
