Why Should Anyone Be Led by You? | 誠品線上

如何讓人願意被你領導: 做好主管的第一課

內容簡介

內容簡介 Too many companies are managed not by leaders, but by mere role players and faceless bureaucrats. What does it take to be a real leader—one who is confident in who she is and what she stands for, and who truly inspires people to achieve extraordinary results?Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones argue that leaders don’t become great by aspiring to a list of universal character traits. Rather, effective leaders are authentic: they deploy individual strengths to engage followers’ hearts, minds, and souls. They are skillful at consistently being themselves, even as they alter their behaviors to respond effectively in changing contexts.In this lively and practical book, Goffee and Jones draw from extensive research to reveal how to hone and deploy one’s unique leadership assets while managing the inherent tensions at the heart of successful leadership: showing emotion and withholding it, getting close to followers while keeping distance, and maintaining individuality while “conforming enough.” Underscoring the social nature of leadership, the book also explores how leaders can remain attuned to the needs and expectations of followers.Why Should Anyone Be Led By You? will forever change how we view, develop, and practice the art of leadership, wherever we live and work.

各界推薦

各界推薦 【95年6月好讀推薦】組織給予一個人領導者的身分，但他未必有領導者的能耐。為何組織裡頭大家都要聽你的？換個方式問：如何讓別人聽你領導？作者不主張用一套模子來打造最理想的組織領導者，而應站在個人差異的基礎上。也提出幾項許多人忽略的領導關鍵：選擇性地露出弱點；重視直覺來採取行動；利用自身的差異來遂行領導力。換言之，就是「做最好的自己，但做得巧。」
