Description
At last, everyday leaders can put the science of leadership into action every day to model, inspire, and empower others to perform at their best. The Science of Leadership: Nine Ways to Expand Your Impact presents a game-changing synthesis of 50 years of leadership research as a comprehensive guide for seasoned and aspiring leaders, and anyone who wants to help their boss become a better leader. Authors Jeffrey Hull and Margaret Moore, leadership coaches and leaders of the Institute of Coaching, translate academic research and their extensive experience in leading and coaching into a practical, self-coaching roadmap for your own growth in these times of exponential change and disruption. This book organizes the science of leadership (15,000+ studies and articles showing what improves individual, team, and organizational performance) into nine capacities which build upon each other. Each capacity is brought to life by real-life stories, a science overview, practices, and ways to deal with overuse. These capacities are organized into three levels with increasing complexity:
Self-Oriented
1. Conscious - See clearly, including myself
2. Authentic - Care
3. Agile - Flex
Other-Oriented
4. Relational - Help
5. Positive - Strengthen
6. Compassionate - Resonate
System-Oriented (team and organization)
7. Shared - Share
8. Servant - Serve
9. Transformational - Transform Whether you're a C-suite executive, an emerging leader, or a professional coach or consultant, The Science of Leadership delivers the fundamentals you need to know. You will quiet your ego and feel more fulfilled as a leader as your impact grows. Leading will feel more like flying than trudging uphill, with more ease, less strain, and more pleasure.
