Make It, Don't Fake It: Leading with Authenticity for Real Business Success

An award-winning CEO and communications expert shows how authentic leadership eliminates the need for the shortcuts that sabotage success. "Fake it till you make it" just doesn't work-at least not long enough to build a sustainable business. Driven to succeed under constant pressure, entrepreneurs and business leaders alike can be tempted to exaggerate their strengths, minimize weaknesses, and bend the truth. Through the twin lenses of running her own national public relations firm and advising thousands of executives for a quarter-century, Sabrina Horn revisits the core of leadership; defines authentic, reality-based business integrity; and shows readers how to attain and maintain it. With firsthand accounts of sticky situations and painful mistakes, Horn lays out workable strategies, frameworks, and mental maps to help leaders gain the clarity of thought necessary to make sound business decisions, even when there are no right answers. In her straightforward, no-nonsense style, she shares the power of humility and empathy, mentorship and self-assessment, and a strong core value system to build a leader's confidence and resilience. Horn's fake-free advice will empower readers to disarm fear, organize risk, manage setbacks and crises, deal with losing and loneliness, and create a culture and brand designed for long-term success.

DER GROSSE LEADER: EXPERTE FÜR FÜHRUNG

Das Führungs-Gen Das Thema Führung und Genetik wird diskutiert und erforscht, seit es den Begriff der Führung gibt. Die Forschungsbemühungen haben sich darauf konzentriert, die Verbindung zwischen den beiden zu erforschen. Werden Führungskräfte geboren oder gemacht? Das mag wie ein Klischee klingen, aber bis heute wird die Genetik als ein wichtiger Faktor bei der Bildung von Führungskräften angesehen. Aber nicht jeder sieht das genauso. Da mag etwas Wahres dran sein, aber Faktoren wie Erfahrungen und soziale Dynamik sind auch bei der Führung wichtig. Es gibt keinen einzelnen Faktor, der die Fähigkeit einer Person zur Führung bestimmt. Jeder Faktor ist bis zu einem gewissen Grad wichtig. Einige Wissenschaftler haben ein starkes Gespür für genetische und biologische Faktoren und ihre Beziehung zur Führung. Das Interesse an dem Zusammenhang zwischen Genetik und Führung wird dadurch ausgelöst, dass Menschen aus derselben Familie Führungspositionen in der Gesellschaft einnehmen. Die Kennedys und die Familie Bush sind zwei Beispiele dafür. Über die Genetik hinaus beschäftigt sich die Wissenschaft auch mit den biologischen und physischen Merkmalen, die Führungskräfte besitzen. Es gibt Studien, die zeigen, wie die Genetik zu den physiologischen und psychologischen Funktionen einer Person beiträgt. Diese wirken sich schließlich auf die kognitiven und verhaltensbezogenen Eigenschaften einer Person aus, die bestimmen, ob eine Person für eine Führungsposition geeignet ist. Hormone und chemische Veränderungen im Körper beeinflussen die kognitiven Funktionen einer Person, ein sehr wichtiger Aspekt der Führung. Wenn es um Führung geht, ist es immer eine Frage von Natur gegen Natur.

The Creator Mindset: 92 Tools to Unlock the Secrets to Innovation, Growth, and Sustainability

From B-school through the big leagues, the business world often places value on logic and analysis. But on creativity? Not so much. And this, according to Nir Bashan, is a recipe for disaster. What gets the ball rolling when we're feeling stuck in our careers? Why is my company not growing or reaching higher levels of profitability? What's the difference between a workable plan and a stroke of genius? The answer is creativity-and it's the missing ingredient for far too many of us who feel we're not reaching our creative potential. In The Creator Mindset, Bashan shows you how to use creativity as a decision-making tool, and do so every bit as confidently as you use spreadsheets and data analysis. Bashan demystifies the process of sharpening this ability by breaking it down into four essential sections. Discover what is meant by a 'creator mindset,' why it's crucial in business, how to see the world with this mindset, and how to sustain it. Written in plain language with real-world examples, chapters include: creativity for non-creative people; training your mind to think in a creative way; when nothing else works-creativity will; envisioning a world that can be, not the world that is; the virtues of listening-and the value of making mistakes; the 'Creator Mindset' guide to crisis; and beating the complacency conundrum.

Rewire for Wealth: Three Steps Any Woman Can Take to Program Her Brain for Financial Success

The men in her life had always handled Barbara Huson's money: First her father (the 'R' of H&R Block), and then her husband, a stockbroker who turned out to be a compulsive gambler. When tax bills arrived for over one million dollars for his illegal deals, her ex left the country, and her father refused to help, Huson realized she had to grow up financially, fast. Since that dramatic financial wake-up call, Huson has devoted herself to learning everything there is to know about women and money, and in Rewire for Wealth she goes to the very core of the disconnect between the two: According to multiple studies, women's and men's brains process information differently-and that has a profound effect when it comes to money. (Men, for example, view investing as a challenge; women see it as a threat.) Fortunately, you can 'un-learn' previous bad lessons-and train your brain to process information differently. In Rewire for Wealth, Huson offers a proven and integrative approach to re-wiring your brain. Using the latest neuroscience, psychology, and mind-training techniques with original research that includes more than twenty years of hard-won financial expertise, she shows you how to quickly but methodically eliminate maladaptive financial behaviors, and expand your ability to build wealth.

Ruthless Consistency: How Committed Leaders Execute Strategy, Implement Change, and Build Organizati

When all is said and done, a lot more gets said than done. What is the antidote to this? Ruthless Consistency. According to Harvard Business Review, 'most studies still show a 60-70% failure rate for organizational change projects-a statistic that has stayed constant from the 1970s to the present.' Drawing on his twenty-plus years of experience as a strategy and execution consultant specializing in midsize companies, Michael Canic helps committed leaders drive the odds in their favor. In Ruthless Consistency, he identifies the three surprising reasons most strategic change initiatives fail: Leaders unwittingly send mixed messages that demotivate their people and undermine those initiatives; leaders focus on what they do instead of what their people experience; and leaders are not as committed as they think they are or need to be. The book then introduces an intuitive yet comprehensive model for success. Simply put, leaders who develop the right focus, create the right environment, and build the right team-consistently-are leaders whose organizations win. Finally, it details each element of the model and offers ready-to-apply processes, practices, techniques, and tools to make it happen. It's a must-listen for every leader who wants to implement change successfully.

Most business leaders understand the power of a dynamic, positive culture-but almost every effort to change culture fails. Why? The approach is often all wrong.

In this book you'll find everything you need to rebuild your corporate culture with care and expertise, including three phases and detailed action steps for architecting the change you want to see; practical insights and examples from T-Mobile, Microsoft, 3M, and other top companies; the traits of a healthy corporate culture; and proven talent practices to maintain your new culture for long-term success.

You'll learn how to best understand the culture in place today and set a new cultural path for decades to come; develop a cocreation mindset; identify influencers and blockers; ferret out skeptics and non-believers; measure, monitor, and report progress; and implement 'next practices' in talent strategies to sustain the renovation.

Change Intelligence: Use the Power of CQ to Lead Change That Sticks

Whether you’re on the front line or in the executive suite, you can build your “Change Intelligence®”—and create results that matter at all levels of the organization. In today’s business world, everyone knows that we all face constant change, whether it’s the implementation of a new IT system, a reorganization, or a full merger or acquisition. We also know that the ability to handle such change makes the difference between success and failure—and has a direct effect on the bottom line. Because we understand this, twenty-first century executives, supervisors, and project managers have plenty of methodologies for managing change. Yet, somehow, our failure rate when we try to implement major organizational change is still shockingly high. In this innovative guide, Barbara Trautlein argues that our current approaches are inadequate when they are not used in tandem with a deep understanding of Change Intelligence®, or CQ®—the skill set that allows you to lead your team or company through vital transformations. You’ll explore how to lead change by engaging the Heart, enlightening the Head, and equipping the Hands, which when combined enable you to overcome resistance and achieve results. And once you learn your own Change Leader Style, you’ll go on to discover practical strategies for leveraging your strengths and shoring up your weak spots. Trautlein, a leading authority on change leadership, keeps the theory light and delves into insightful case studies drawn from her decades of experience working with hundreds of top organizations as well as from her research derived from the global Change Intelligence/CQ Assessment® database of thousands of change leaders around the world. Her example- and evidence-based approach will help you plainly see how you can start driving real transformation—not by adopting yet another new tool but by bolstering your own capacity for change leadership.
