The author writes with flair and precision. ... I recommend this book very highly. It is clear  timely and accessible. De Vries is a master of the elusive topic of leadership. For the busy manager and consultant  it is a valuable balance to a growing library that merely idealises and idolises leadership.\" HR Monthly   Australia  \"Your business can have all the advantages in the world; strong financial resources  enviable market position  and state-of-the-art technology  but if leadership fails  all of these advantages melt away.\" - Manfred Kets de Vries  Organizations are like automobiles. They dont run themselves  except downhill. Successful leadership today demands very different behavior from the conventional leadership tradition we are used to. It requires leaders who speak to the collective imagination of their people  co-opting them to join in the business journey; leaders who are able to motivate people to full commitment and spur them on to make that extra effort. Its all about human behavior. Its about understanding the way people and organizations behave  about creating relationships  about building commitment  and about adapting your behavior to lead in a creative and motivating way. So  stop right now and ask yourself what youre doing about the leadership factor. How do you execute your own leadership style? Whether you work on the shop floor or have a corner office on the top floor of a shimmering skyscraper  what have you done today to be more effective as a leader? There are no quick answers to leadership questions  and there are no easy solutions. In fact  the more we learn the more it seems there is to learn. In The Leadership Mystique  management and psychology guru Manfred Kets de Vries unpicks the many layers of complexity that underlie effective leadership  and gets to the heart of the day-to-day behavior of leading people in the human enterprise. Assess your own leadership qualities with the probing self-questionnaires and learn how to develop your skills for maximum impact as a leader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279825264693,"sku":"ByrdShop_1405840196","price":28.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781405840194.jpg?v=1780612340","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-leadership-mystique-leading-behavior-in-the-human-enterprise-9781405840194","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
