{"product_id":"the-art-of-leadership-9780077862459","title":"The Art of Leadership","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Art of Leadership  5th edition is based on two ideas. Leadership will take place to the extent the leader cares about the work to be done. Equally important  the leader must care about people. Neither of these qualities is sufficient without the other  and neither can be false. People know when the leader cares. When the leader is committed to the task and is concerned about people  these qualities serve as magnets and motivators to followers  and their potential for achievement becomes enormous. Leadership is an art that can be developed through mastery of nine key areas of success. The successful leader must possess knowledge and skills in the following areas: understanding leadership variables  the power of vision  the importance of ethics  the empowerment of people  leadership principles  understanding people  multiplying effectiveness  developing others  and performance management. The difference between most other leadership texts and The Art of Leadership  5th edition can be compared to the difference between a lecture and a seminar. Although both are good educational vehicles  the lecture is better for conveying large amounts of information  while the seminar is better for developing skills and attitudes. A good lecture is interesting and builds knowledge  while a good seminar is stimulating and builds competency. Without sacrificing either theoretical foundation or important content  the fifth edition of The Art of Leadership emphasizes the interactive  seminar approach to learning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647077539893,"sku":"ByrdShop_0077862457","price":92.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780077862459.jpg?v=1781687910","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-art-of-leadership-9780077862459","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
