What does 40 years of research tell us about leadership? How can we use that knowledge to become truly inspirational leaders? In Achieve Leadership Genius, three renowned leadership consultants offer definitive answers to these questions, presenting a detailed framework any manager can use to become dramatically more effective -- and any organization can use to nurture tomorrow's leaders. Drawing on the world's most significant studies of leadership and organizational behavior, the authors illuminate leadership in all five of its contexts: leading oneself, leading individuals one-on-one, leading teams, leading organizations, and leading alliances. But great leadership is situational as well as contextual: it must be flexible enough to handle a wide variety of environments, events, and scenarios. So the authors show how to bring your best personal leadership techniques to bear in any situation, and in every stage of the leadership process: envisioning, initiation, and implementation. From start to finish, Achieve Leadership Genius addresses both the high-level and 'micro' skills that great leaders need, guiding readers systematically through assessing their current behaviors and moving towards excellence.
