Beskrivning

It is commonplace that counselors, therapists, teachers, business leaders, executives, coaches, and other helping professionals -- specifically trained in group leadership -- often fail to apply their knowledge and skills to settings in which they might matter most. The same practitioners who guide others may not be able to put that background to work when they find themselves supervising peers, leading meetings, or even managing conflict at the dinner table. What You Don't Know about Leadership, but Probably Should discusses ways that leadership skills and interventions can operate throughout daily life. Applications from group therapy and systemic intervention models will be applied to the realities that people face every day -- inspiring others, facilitating meetings, running social events, guiding conversations, and empowering others. This text uniquely integrates the latest research, theory, concepts, and skills into a model that applies these ideas to every aspect of daily life. The author draws not only from the extensive literature in group dynamics, counseling, and psychology, but also includes insights from business leaders gleaned from over a dozen interviews he conducted.

Recensioner i media

"An insightful and surprisingly fresh examination of the tired topic of leadership . . . [Kottler's] exploration of bad management will resonate with people at all levels of the corporate ladder, as will his chapter on leadership in everyday life. Readers in leadership positions will appreciate Kottler's reminder that, as he writes at the book's conclusion, "it's not just about what you do, but who you are" that makes the difference." - PublishersWeekly
