About this title

Synopsis

The Leader's Window presents an authoritative leadership system to help you give your employees what they need, when they need it, in a form in which they can use it. New and updated leader profiles and case examples illustrate the variety of successful strategies high-profile leaders use, while stories of misguided leadership show pitfalls to avoid. With new information on managing Generation X and adapting to diverse personality types, this classic resource presents the strategies you need to make the most of individual capabilities and simultaneously achieve goals. Charts, action lists, cases for reflection, process plans, performance contracts, self-assessments and tools to crease baseline leadership measures provide the help you need to harness the potential of each worker and transform that potential into results-driven teams.
