Description
What makes a truly exceptional leader? Discover the practical, fail-proof tools that will help you to fine-tune your leadership skills, solidify respect among your workforce, and ensure your company’s lasting success.
When Martin G. Moore was asked to rescue a leading energy corporation from ever-increasing debt and a lack of executive accountability, he faced an uphill battle. Not only had he never before stepped into the role of CEO; he also had no experience in the rapidly evolving energy sector. Relying on the practical leadership principles he had honed throughout his thirty-three-year career, he overhauled the company’s culture, redefined its leadership capability, and increased earnings by a compound annual growth rate of 125 percent.
In the Wall Street Journal bestseller No Bullsh!t Leadership, Moore outlines these proven leadership principles in a clear, direct way. He sweeps away the mystical fog surrounding leadership today and lays out the essential steps for success. Moore combines this tangible advice with honest, real-world examples from his own career to provide a no-nonsense look at the skills a true leader possesses.
Moore's principles for no bullshit leadership focus on:
· Creating value by focusing only on the things that matter most
· Facing conflict, adversity, and ambiguity with decisiveness and confidence
· Setting uncompromising standards for behavior and performance
· Selecting and developing great people
· Making those people accountable, and empowering them to do their best
· Setting simple, value-driven goals and communicating them relentlessly
Though the steps aren't easy, they are guaranteed, if implemented, to lift your leadership-and your organization-to a higher level. Wherever you are in your career, No Bullsh!t Leadership will help you develop the skills and form the habits needed to become a no bullshit leader.

I wanted to read this book not just for the sake of learning something about leadership but more about knowing what to watch out for and above all, as a facilitator working with rural communities, to know how to get the most out of people because collaboration/teamwork is key in my kind of work.
I loved this book, from the very beginning, the author states what he is talking about and why- no promises of success or of getting it right the first time, but what he said that made me relate to this book is that leadership at the core is about people and that in itself is ever changing and not easy. I appreciated that kind of honesty.
He also goes through the seven areas of leadership in detail.
I feel like this book is more suited to anyone who not only wants to engage people in doing a task, but also changemakers, advocates and those in structured/hierarchical institutions. It's a detailed book on people, actions, and leadership.
Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC.

Great book that covers many aspects of leadership from value, to conflict, decision making and business performance. Ultimately this resource is conversational, but able to be implemented, and provides an understanding of how strong leadership does contribute toward business performance. I recommend this one! Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
