Description

The best leaders are born, not made. The best leaders are always in control. The best leaders are those with the highest IQs. But are they really?

The thinking about what makes the greatest leaders is increasingly muddled by stereotypes, false promises and pseudo-science. The best leaders rely on fact, not fads. Myths of Leadership blasts away the fluff and confronts false legends head on. Jo Owen uses the most credible research to analyze each myth, using international business case studies, leadership theory and insightful interviews, to uncover the truth.

This is a compelling examination of the most pervasive misconceptions about leadership that will help you elevate your own leadership abilities, better inspire your team and empower your organization by thinking differently. Entertaining and accessible Myths of Leadership throws out the management jargon and skewers over-hyped leadership trends to bring you the best practical tips you need to become a better leader.

Featured Reviews

An easy read and a must for those who work in the corporate world. Scratch that; anyone who scrutinises LinkedIn thinks they should be more like the people who wake up at 3 am, run 20km and go to bed at midnight whilst being the best in the business.

Not only was this humorous, and it used many references to cite proof that you can do better than follow the 'leadership crowd'.

A recommended (and arguably a mandatory) read for anyone in a management or leadership position.
