[Bookandbriefcase · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was hoping this book would pack a punch and blow me away with some mad leadership skills but it was mostly about the fundamentals: communicating, listening, questioning, inspiring followers, being accountable, delegating. But I guess that’s what makes a leader a leader right? Walking the talk and not just merely talking about fanciful leadership techniques.
•
I skimmed through this one, but took some notes along the way. The book offers a summary of practical tips in every chapter, which I think is a good reference for someone who needs a quick read.
•
This book would be most useful for someone who’s new to leadership books, and interested in knowing the basic skills of what it takes to be a leader 🦁

Niște sfaturi la obiect despre cum să valorifici cât mai bine colaborarea cu cei din organizația ta. În calitatea ta de leader, zic. Dacă te-ai lovit, ca să zic așa, de literatura de genul acesta, nu o să îți aducă nimic nou. Dar orișicât o recapitulare este binevenită oricând. Mai ales că, nu-i așa, nu este că ai aplicat tacticile astea de prima dată de când le-ai citit. Io și știu. Că nici io nu le-am aplicat :))
Cu ce am rămas din carte: un leader adevărat înțelege că rolul său în organizație este să aducă o valoare cât mai mare organizației.
