Fairly basic book; connect to people, communicate purpose and provide the people you are leading with power. The power you provide allows meaningful change to occur that moves the company in the direction you want to go.
Connect others with their own power and purpose - if you can do this will go the extra mile.
Find what motivates individuals in your teams, after their essential needs are met money is unlikely the main factor.
First find out your own passion. To find your own passion use curiosity, learn and discover new things. Research this widely thereby developing a passion which is apparent to anybody that you meet.
Attempt to get staff to take responsibility, make teams work together motivated by a common goal knowing that working together is important.
Develop the skill to tell stories, this is not a gift some people have, it is something to develop. Tell stories about what has occurred to you as a person and the vision of what you want to occur to get a personal connection with the audience.
Continue to have ongoing training in communication skills, there are lots of skills to develop. Finally practice providing presentations.

This book such a great book for me .
I pick to read this book randomly from my late father bookshelf. That time, I was in a state of felt annoying with what is happening in my office with all the “ office politics “ going on .
Me and my team members felt so demotivated . And , I’m glad that I pick this book and it guide me on how to be motivate again and how to encounter with all the not so goos situation in the office environment.
After all , the book was good for both : management and staff .
Seriously , I wish I could give this book to each of the management people - from AM up to SM
So they know how to be a “Leader“ not a “Boss” .
So they know to treat staff equally not been biased . Listen what the staff raise about not telling the staff all the matters are they raise are “ complaints “ . Seriously it was not complaints .
After all , indeed this totally a good book for both party .
