Based on extensive research, this book challenges accepted 'norms' and establishes the 7 key competencies required for successful leadership todayThis challenging book is based on research carried out over seven years with over 2,500 senior managers in ten different companies, in USA and Europe. Michael Williams establishes and explains the 7 key competency clusters that matter most today:
* Goal orientation
* Integrity
* Close engagement with others
* 'Helicopter' perception
* Resilient resourcefulness
* Personal 'horsepower'
* Resonant communications
He also shows how much talent lies untapped in organisations and proposes methods of mobilising all this potential. He demonstrates how, for ultimate success, the key competencies need to be linked closely to:
* Personal consistency
* Discipline and Integrity
* Intolerance of mediocrity
* A concern to build mutual trust
* Focused passion for the business
* Recognition of the importance of emotional intelligenceCONTENTS
