But did you know that your DNA accounts for one third of the difference between you and your co-workers in many aspects of work life, from job satisfaction to income level? That's the revelation of this fascinating book--one that will change the way you think It's no secret that your genes have a subtle, but powerful impact on your job and career. But did you know that your DNA accounts for one third of the difference between you and your co-workers in many aspects of work life, from job satisfaction to income level? That's the revelation of this fascinating book-one that will change the way you think about the role of genetics in the workplace. Despite extensive evidence highlighting the influence of genetics in the business world, this critical connection has been glossed over by corporate leaders and management gurus. Now, for the first time, author Scott Shane explains why genes matter, and how an understanding of their relationship to behavior is of vital importance to employers, employees, and policy makers. This eye-opening resource begins with an incisive look at the basic function of genes and their effects on organizational behavior, providing a real-world analysis of how genes influence numerous aspects of our professional lives, from the jobs we choose, to how effectively we make decisions and manage people. Born Entrepreneurs, Born Leaders also delves into role that genetics plays in creativity and innovation, and focuses on how genes affect our tendency to start companies. Armed with these insights, you'll not only learn how to leverage your innate skills and personality, but you'll discover how to succeed by acting in ways contrary to your "nature." Packed with scientifically grounded insights, this phenomenal book also examines the potential use of genetic information in creating job assignments and designing incentive and training plans. Ultimately, Born Entrepreneurs, Born Leaders shows how a heightened awareness of your own-and your colleagues'-genetic predispositions can make you a better employee or employer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people appear to be "natural born leaders." But are they literally born that way? Or have they been taught, coached, rewarded, and reinforced in ways that enable them to be leaders? In The 108 Skills of Natural Born Leaders, you'll learn that no one is born a leader. But everyone has the natural born capacity to lead. We label people "natural born leaders" because they consistently and frequently model qualities that inspire others to commit to their direction. This book identifies the skill set that causes others to see people as natural born leaders, helping you assess your current level of these skills and coaching you to master your weak areas. You will learn: Foundation skills, including self-awareness and the ability to establish rapport. Direction skills, including the ability to set a course and develop others as leaders. Willing follower skills, including the ability to influence others and create a motivating environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a great leader? Can leadership be learned or are great leaders born and not made? Manfred Kets de Vries answers these questions, and many more, in his innovative and fresh look at the timeless theme of effective leadership. His engaging study of the life of Alexander the Great, the charismatic leader who created an empire that spanned most of the ancient world, provides an in-depth look at the psychodynamics of leadership that will be of use to contemporary leaders in business and politics, and to consulting and training organizations. In the first part of the book, the author weaves the fascinating tale of Alexander's life, whilst highlighting his considerable leadership skills. He then analyses Alexander's personality and behavior from a clinical perspective to demonstrate the psychological forces that shaped those leadership qualities. He looks at the key facets of Alexander's leadership technique in detail, as a practical demonstration of effective leadership, and concludes by cataloguing Alexander's strengths and, just as importantly, his weaknesses for the vital lessons in leadership. In this way, Manfred Kets de Vries creates a compelling vision of leadership that no one can afford to ignore.

Book excerpt: Leadership, the word alone inspires thoughts of Caesar, Richard the Lion Hearted, Washington, Churchill, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Reagan. Where and how did they learn leadership? Think about this, they all had military backgrounds. Of the worlds great learning institutions I question how many have even attempted to teach leadership. The military teaches leadership at almost every level to those who will lead their soldiers, sailors and airmen; how many corporations do the same? More over, when have you seen a university class schedule that offered a course called Leadership 101, or Senior Leadership? A course entitled Introduction to Management is not about leadership. The words leader and manager have two very different meanings. Some people like to think that leaders are born, that the craft comes naturally, that they need no training. While it is true that some personalities are more suited to the leadership role, without training so called natural born leaders sometimes make the worst leaders. Diamonds have to be polished in order to shine! How about the worlds great corporate institutions, surely they are teaching leadership. If so are they doing it at the lowest level? Where does the mechanic who gets promoted to shop foreman and suddenly put in charge get leadership training? Also, I believe with the number of people serving in the military decreasing, there is a dangerous shortage of good leaders and a growing number of bad ones. If you do not believe this, talk to your friends and family members about their immediate boss, or their company. Ask how they are being treated as workers and more importantly human beings? The answers you will hear are the primary reasons I have written "No Natural Born Leaders".

Book excerpt: Leaders are Made Not Born, Second Edition, is a professional guide for developing and nurturing the right leadership skills in people. The author has drawn from his own extensive experiences in business and in the introduction, shares what inspired and motivated him to write this book. The book is now divided into three major sections: the first one is a large section divided into chapters on leadership skills that are short and to the point, with many thought-provoking questions and exercises that are meant to encourage independent thinking and application; the second section discusses the importance of people and emotional intelligence skills to improve performance and generate personal growth; and the third section is on coaching and mentoring. This Second Edition has come about largely in response to readers who wanted to learn more about emotional intelligence and the difference between coaching and mentoring. Perhaps more than those updates, the author has introduced his desire to make a difference in people's lives and challenges us to do the same.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will serve as a discussion on the natural-born leader through an autobiographical lens. It is not meant to be a book based on research, but it will rather present anecdotes from my life to substantiate what I think are the essential qualities and characteristics of a natural-born leader. I hope that by reading this book, you may, through introspection, potentially uncover these qualities within yourself. There is some intentional repetition in prose about the leadership learning process because most readers do not read books in one sitting. In my opinion, repetition of some elements will provide a good continuity to grasp basic concepts related to leadership and becoming a confident leader. Anyone can be a leader: whether it is working in a big or smaller organization or any institution; it could be even at home as one of the parents to manage and guide kids or family members.
