This book reveals the three most important capabilities leaders must demonstrate today: the ability to set strategy, empathize with others, and take risks--all at the same time. In "Head, Heart, and Guts, " leadership experts David Dotlich, Peter Cairo, and Stephen Rhinesmith--who teach and coach CEOs and executive teams throughout the world--argue that to be successful in a complex, matrixed, fast-moving world, "whole" leaders must set strategy, develop trusting relationships with others, and consistently do the right thing based on personal values. "Partial" leaders, often the product of traditional executive programs, may be successful in the shortrun, but their companies lose over time. Filled with case studies of companies such as Bank of America, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, and UBS, "Head, Heart, and Guts," lays out specific steps and actions for leaders who want to grow beyond their "leadership comfort zone" and an action plan for companies that want to move beyond tried-and-true leadership development in order to develop "whole" leaders throughout their leadership pipeline.

Written by David Dotlich and Peter Cairo-- two of the country's top executive coaches and educators-- Unnatural Leadership debunks the common notion of the natural leader as a flawless figure. The book describes the truth about being a real leader in a business environment turned upside down by e-commerce, diversity, security concerns, globalization, and matrix structures. Drawing on personal experience working with successful leaders in top-tier companies throughout the world, Dotlich and Cairo identify a style of leadership used by those who succeed in complicated business and people situations, a style that maximizes a leader's strengths and acknowledges weaknesses.

Presents thirteen specific 'leadership passages' based on research, interviews, and coaching of senior executives in such companies as Johnson & Johnson, Novarits, Intel, GE, and Bank of America. This book provides practical tools and techniques to improve your leadership, along with real- life examples.

In today's fast-paced world, leaders face complex dilemmas that cannot be easily resolved. These challenges, often seen as paradoxes, require a different approach than traditional problem-solving. This insightful book serves as a modern guide for leaders to recognize and confront the underlying issues that contribute to these paradoxes. It emphasizes the importance of acknowledging that some situations will never have a single correct solution and encourages leaders to confront the mental barriers that drive them to seek unattainable resolutions. Embracing the reality of being "unfinished" is crucial for effective leadership in a complex environment. Drawing from interviews with 100 CEOs and top leaders from diverse companies like Avon, Nike, and Johnson & Johnson, the book offers valuable mindsets and tools to navigate contradictory demands and competing priorities. It teaches leaders to take action despite uncertainty and to guide their teams through ongoing challenges. By understanding and embracing the complexities of modern leadership, readers will learn to reconcile competing outcomes, adapt to change, and ultimately build lasting success. This resource is essential for leaders at all levels looking to thrive amidst the paradoxes of contemporary organizations.

Představte si vlak, který denně jezdí stejnou trasou a může se řídit vysokou rychlostí, dokud se jednou nevykolejí. Podobně je na tom člověk, který exceluje ve své kariéře, neboť má vše pod kontrolou. I on však může jednou selhat, když se zátěž příliš zvýší. Kolik znáte úspěšných ředitelů, kteří se dostali do důchodu bez potíží? Mnozí netuší, že k těmto selháním dochází již dávno před krizí. Vynikající vlastnosti, které je dostaly nahoru, mohou začít škodit. Přísloví „Kdo s čím zachází, tím také schází“ naznačuje, že selhání lze předvídat, což je pozitivní zpráva. Kniha vychází z testu vyvinutého psychologem Robertem Hoganem, který ukazuje, že není nutné čekat na kolaps v zátěži, ale lze odhadnout kritické body i v běžných situacích. Tento test pomohl mnoha vedoucím pracovníkům, včetně více než tisíce českých manažerů, při plánování profesního a osobního rozvoje. Díky spolupráci s Hoganem jsem si uvědomil, že problémy, které se týkají výkonných ředitelů, se mohou vztahovat na každého z nás.

Herkömmliche Fortbildungsprogramme stärken immer nur einen Aspekt einer Führungskraft. Entweder wird das strategische Denken überbetont oder es wird besonderer Wert auf empathisches Auftreten gelegt oder riskantes Handeln wird zu stark akzentuiert. Doch alle drei Faktoren gemeinsam machen einen guten Manager aus – erst durch den Fokus auf alle drei Merkmale wird ein Leadership-Programm richtig gut und bringt beste Führungskräfte hervor.
