Klappentext

What does it take to lead in the modern workplace? This comprehensive playbook provides a definitive answer for leaders of all levels, addressing 21 common challenges with practical, science-backed advice---from the renowned executive coach and author of How to Have a Good Day Caroline Webb.

Leaders everywhere are under pressure. They must deliver immediate results, while building for the long term. They need to lift themselves up to see the whole field of play, while moving their teams steadily forward on the ground. Meanwhile, technology is changing faster than ever, and the division of labor between human and machine keeps shifting. What does it take to lead intelligently through all of that?

Powered by the science-based approach that made her first book, How to Have a Good Day, an instant and enduring success, Caroline Webb's Leadership Intelligence enables leaders to excel at this unique time in history. Rooted in insights from psychology, neuroscience and behavioral economics, and enlivened by stories from real-life leadership role models, the book gives readers the actionable advice they need to lead people effectively, day after day.

Webb distills her three decades of work advising senior executives into a playbook for mastering 21 challenges that sit at the heart of contemporary leadership. Arranged under three key strengths of a great leader---making consistently wise choices, inspiring people to perform at their best, and building resilience to ups and downs---the book will show readers how to ace challenges, including:

• making smarter decisions
• managing conflict skillfully
• building trust within your team
• developing colleagues' capabilities
• steering through uncertainty and crisis

Famed leadership expert Tom Peters has praised Caroline Webb's "peerless translation of the behavioral sciences into tools." Leadership Intelligence is practical enough to be consulted in the heat of a crisis, yet broad enough to guide every aspect of leadership. It's designed to make leading feel less like guesswork and more like a craft---an indispensable toolkit that ambitious managers will return to year after year.
