Description
In a dynamic book sector such as 'Leadership', it's easy to lose sight of the basics - the timeless concepts that continue to underpin much of the new thinking on the behaviour of leaders. One of the UK's best-known business thinkers, John Adair has distilled his experience into 12 key concepts, including: The art of sharing decisions; Integrity; Warmth and humanity; Critical testing; and Practical wisdom. For anyone seeking a deeper knowledge of the theories and issues surrounding leadership as a management function, 'Lessons in Leadership' is a series of reflections on the fundamentals of leadership, all designed to challenge and inspire the reader.
