The Leader's Secret Code: The belief systems that distinguish winners
What makes a great leader? What beliefs, attitudes and behaviours are linked to being a top performing and influential leader, especially in these uncertain times? What impact does culture, industry and business context have? And do formal training and education make a difference? This book is for any business manager or executive, or indeed anyone involved in leading a team in their company, who wants to learn the secrets of successful leadership. Based on interviews and analysis (qualitative and quantitative) with some of the world’s best performing leaders, across a mix of industries, cultures and context, the authors present a rigorous evaluation of how leaders behave and how they are driven. In doing so, they reveal the secret code behind consistent and high-level success in leadership and management.

There are multiple roads to success but some are shorter than others.The author analysed characterial properties of several succesful people to build a model of an ideal mix for those capable and willing to adjust their personalities in order to find more short-cuts.
The analysed properties are the following 7
Control: succes is marginally more accessible in a participative approach, but it does take more effort
Resilience: is key to success, absence of resilience is the second big success detractor
Influence - Communication : they facilityate matters but not in a major way
Factuality is a key succes feature in this study ( personally I have ever increasing doubts about the superiority of factual vs intuitive since so many facts stem from a perspecvtive that is not necessarily unique, relevant, objective or correct)
Seeing the objective as goal instead of the recognition for contributing is the biggest succes feature
Ambiguity, quite counter-intuitively is another succes factor, it's better to pivot then to dead-end !
