Book excerpt: This book is about the "leadership illusion"; the habit of writers, researchers and leaders, when considering causes of success or failure, to focus mainly on the individual and often the context but rarely both. This book argues that context and individual are inextricably linked and we first must make sense of the context in which leaders operate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How will the future leaders of Russia regard the world scene? How will they regard the United States, democracy, free speech, and immigration? What do they think of their current leaders? And what sorts of tactics will they bring to international negotiating tables, political and otherwise? No Illusions: The Voices of Russia's Future Leaders provides an engaging, intimate, and unprecedented window into the mindsets of the next generation of leaders in Russian politics, business, and economics. In this book, one hundred and eight students in Russia's three most elite universities, the training grounds for the nation's leadership, reveal their thoughts on international relations, neighboring countries, domestic and international media, democratic movements, and their government in focus groups; they speak candidly, passionately, and sometimes sardonically about America. As well, Ellen Mickiewicz, one of the world's foremost experts on Russian media, politics, and culture, shows how their total immersion in the world of the internet-an immersion that sets them apart from the current generation of Russian leadership and much of the rest of the country-frames the way that they think and affects their trust in their leaders, the media, and their colleagues. Their worldviews are complex and often contradictory, reflecting complicated personalities that are adaptable yet also subject to much internal strife and "splintering." For example, while many of them are planning to go into politics, they express ambivalence about voting; they have favorable views of democracy, but not of the American model; they are shrewd critics of government propaganda and yet have clearly absorbed residue of Cold War defensiveness. Mickiewicz also looks at the nation's massive protests and nascent political movements to show how they came about and to consider what promise they might hold even in times of narrowing opportunities. She profiles several of Russia's up-and-coming leaders, including charismatic and controversial activist and politician Aleksei Navalny, who, even during his legal trials and house arrest, remains the face of the opposition to the Putin regime. As this book shows, the next generation of Russian leadership promises to hold a rather different worldview from that of the current one, yet it is not a worldview that readily embraces American democracy. No Illusions is a thought-provoking and often surprising glimpse into the future of Russia's foreign relations.

At one level this is what politics and business are all about. Too much of the wrong sort of control and the system becomes bureaucratic or tyrannical, too little and it becomes arbitrary and chaotic.

This book was released on 2018-07-22 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I didn't understand. I moved from traditional retail to optical retail. The industries were different, and yet, programs were similar. It was as if they were reading from the same playbook. I had seen front-line associates not buying into corporate programs throughout my career, and now I was seeing it again. Maybe the playbook was the problem? "The Seven Habits of Highly effective people" was in the manager office when I switched to optical. I'd heard of this "Stephen Covey" book at my previous employer, but it wasn't required reading. The optical retailer held a national conference in Orlando, FL in the spring of 2006. "Fierce Conversations" by Susan Scott was featured at the conference, to the rumored tune of $2 million. The entire exercise was a boondoggle, forgotten company-wide within months, but my interest had been peaked. Something was wrong across industries. There had to be an underlying cause. The next decade was spent applying theories in the field, while earning Master's degrees in business and leadership, culminating in The Illusion of Competence, not just a book on leadership, but a new theory in leadership, the first one based on "perception" at the most elemental level of "Emotional Intelligence." Emotional Intelligence has been misinterpreted. There is not a higher level of Emotional Intelligence. Just the opposite. The Illusion teaches you how to focus your energy at the sub-conscious, and only level of Emotional Intelligence. The Illusion of Competence is written by a store manager, for store managers and their associates. The Illusion describes conditions that "sub-consciously" exist in every office, but can be influenced on a conscious level. You can consciously influence others on a sub-conscious level, and already do so every day. The Illusion of Competence just puts it in an understandable context. Four sub-theories make up The Illusion of Competence The Illusion Your boss isn't that complicated. She only has so many priorities because the day is only so long. Learn how to use Emotional Intelligence at a sub-conscious level to master the Illusion of Competence. Micro-Efficiency Theory The Illusion of Competence ties human inefficiency to the Second Law of Thermodynamics in a manner never before contemplated. Inefficiency exists across industries at a "Micro" level, and it is costing industries, and it is costing companies $millions annually. The Illusion of Competence teaches you how to break the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and find the time for the things that matter, like customer service, coaching, and development of associates. Food Poisoning Theory If you and I go to a restaurant and get deathly ill, we will do many things the next time we go out, but frequenting that restaurant will not be one of them. Every customer interaction works in this way, with each one potentially giving customers a little food poisoning, or a fatal dose of food poisoning. Learn The First Rule of Customer Loyalty, "There is none." Food Poisoning Theory uses Emotional Intelligence at its elemental, and only level, to build true customer loyalty, and business for the future. The Theory of Deep Understanding The less you have to think about a subject, the better you must be getting at it; therefore, it stands to reason if you do not have to think about the subject at all, you have achieved "Deep Understanding." Athletes and skilled entertainers prove the existence of Deep Understanding, but The Illusion of Competence knows Deep Understanding can and has been achieved in business. One thing The Illusion will give you is the implication of crossing "The Plain of Understanding" alone while others remain on the other side. The Illusion of Competence does not teach you how to achieve Deep Understanding, but at least now you are aware of its existence. The Illusion of Competence is the first Leadership Advancement in 50 years, and the first leadership theory developed in the 21st century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is leadership a mystery? Do leaders really understand the value, risk, and reality of the leadership brand? Or is leadership an illusion where ignorance is bliss? The purpose of this book is to unveil the mystery of leadership. Leadership is a risky proposition and not as easy as it seems. In naivety, leaders or those aspiring often are misguided by the perception of the pot of gold at the end of the leadership rainbow. With time, they quickly realize that leadership is costly, has consequences for others, and is riddled with challenges. Thus, what leaders don't know them will harm them and others eventually. In The Mystery of Leadership (Unlocking the Code to Value, Risk, and Leadership Illusions), readers will learn: How to find and leverage the leadership voice. The importance of timing and the value of waiting. The cost of being a sage and choosing an authentic leadership brand. The illusion of leadership political capital. How to assemble the right leadership room, set goals, and identify effective leaders for the optimal team. The cost of being a leadership watchman. How to recover from leadership falls and weather leadership storms.
