Description
Leadership can be deeply rewarding—but also deeply demanding. As a leader, you need to deliver immediate results, while also building for the long term. You have to lift yourself up to see the whole field of play, while also helping your teams move forward at ground level. Meanwhile, technology is changing faster than ever, and the division of labor between human and machine keeps shifting. What does it take to lead intelligently through all of that?
Powered by the science-based approach that made her first book, How to Have a Good Day, an instant and enduring success, Caroline Webb’s Leadership Intelligence enables leaders to excel at this unique time in history. Rooted in fresh insights from psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics, and brought to life by real stories of accomplished leaders, the book provides an integrated system full of original frameworks and tools that readers can put to work right away.
Arranged under three key strengths of a great leader—making wise choices, inspiring people to perform at their best, and building resilience to ups and downs—Webb distills her three decades of work advising senior executives into a guide for navigating common situations such as:
- Making important decisions and tradeoffs
- Giving feedback that drives action
- Managing conflict with key stakeholders
- Strengthening team collaboration
- Steering through uncertainty and upheaval
Clear enough to consult before a crucial meeting, but engaging enough to read in depth, Leadership Intelligence is an indispensable toolkit that successful managers will return to year after year as their roles and responsibilities grow.
