Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaders are expected to show the way forward, especially in unpredictable circumstances or when resources are constrained. Yet frustratingly, what is common to good leadership is not often widely practised. Uncommon Leadership will help you explore the uncommon insights that can make a significant difference to your leadership. It will lead you to fresh strategic thinking by challenging conventional wisdom and asking you to reflect on some thought-provoking questions. Using their wealth of experience as managers, educators and consultants, Phil Higson and Anthony Sturgess will help you to think differently about leadership. In this highly readable book, they stimulate fresh thinking on leadership and give you the practical platforms you need to deliver uncommon success in your organization. They bring uncommon leadership to life, combining insights from some remarkable leaders and their surprising stories, with their own individual take on leadership. Uncommon Leadership is supported by a companion website: www.uncommonleadership.co.uk, providing updates, tools and resources to help you do the common things uncommonly well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this offbeat approach to leadership, college president Steven B. Sample-the man who turned the University of Southern California into one of the most respected and highly rated universities in the country-challenges many conventional teachings on the subject. Here, Sample outlines an iconoclastic style of leadership that flies in the face of current leadership thought, but a style that unquestionably works, nevertheless. Sample urges leaders and aspiring leaders to focus on some key counterintuitive truths. He offers his own down-to-earth, homespun, and often provocative advice on some complex and thoughtful issues. And he provides many practical, if controversial, tactics for successful leadership, suggesting, among other things, that leaders should sometimes compromise their principles, not read everything that comes across their desks, and always put off decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Multidimensional Approach to Leadership Top-down, one-dimensional leadership models are hopelessly outmoded in today's rapidly changing world, and they waste the leadership ability that is present throughout an organization. In this visionary book, Karen and Henry Kimsey-House provide a model that harnesses the possibility of many rather than relying on the power of one. Their revolutionary five-dimensional approach recognizes that leadership has to be fluid and flexible and that the roles leaders and followers play must shift to suit the situation. Co-Active Leadership invites all of us to share our expertise and allows collaborative solutions to emerge that would never have been possible otherwise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you ready to lead? A global retirement tsunami is about to strike! This book is for those who will fill the gap as Traditionalists and Baby Boomer leaders retire. While this book's intent is to transfer knowledge to help you become a better leader, its wording has a less formal feel, it's more of a conversation, a book of real-life stories from various businesspeople and places and it's big picture and purpose driven. As you read each story think about the life experience of each generation, where are they coming from and why? The key to unlocking relationships in leadership is understanding the other person's "why". Why do they think, act, and react the way they do? When you understand this, you'll motivate others to follow you no matter what their age. The struggle is real. To become a leader and make a difference. Leadership is both an art and a science. I Think, You Think, We All Think, Differently, addresses the struggles each generation must overcome to work together and find solutions to challenges in our governmental and corporate leadership. To be a leader you must have followers. 'Great' leaders breed other leaders; across generations, cultures, and borders. Open your mind and embrace people don't know what they don't know and start your journey."This book taught me the reasoning behind how older generations have developed their way of thinking. The discussion on how and when to ask your superiors about advancement and compensation was helpful". Ross K, MBA, VP & Investment Professional, and "If you understand and apply the books content in communicating with others, you will unlock the door to promotions, better income, and happiness in your field while gaining the respect of other generations". Brent S, CMP, Director of Marketing.From the Author: "I love working across generational and cultural lines, especially with Millennials and GenZers. Maybe that's because my children are Millennials and GenZers. I love them deeply and don't want them to have to enter a workforce lead by leaders who don't get the flow of our modern society".
