Story
The truth is, being a great leader doesn’t mean you need to have a fancy job title. You don’t have to be overly assertive, and you don’t need to rule with an “iron fist”. Following the simple framework in this book, you can quickly go from putting out fires at work to building a collaborative and cooperative team. A team that respects and follows you, not because you’re a manager, but because you are the boss. But the choice is yours. You can keep second-guessing every decision you make. Or you can bring out the strong leader within and inspire your team to success.

Reward and recognition programs can be costly and inefficient, and they primarily reward employees who are already highly engaged and productive performers. Worse still, these programs actually decrease employee motivation because they can make individual recognition, rather than the overall success of the team, the goal. Yet many businesses turn to these measures first-unaware of a better alternative. So, when it comes to changing your organizational culture, carrots and sticks don't work!

Do you wish you knew how to manage your team better, and get them to commit to your bold vision? The truth is...the majority of managers are simply not very good at goal-setting. (Because they were never taught how to do it properly.) Most corporate goals are never completed on time, and even your highly-educated employees are (usually) not working on essential tasks during the workday. This can be damaging to your career, and can destroy your productivity.

Publisher's summary
Are you a charismatic leader? One way to find out is to answer this question: What are you leading toward? If you don’t know, then you’re merely a charismatic person with a leadership title - and we’re giving you the benefit of the doubt that you’re charismatic.
This book does not focus on the interpersonal part of leadership. It doesn’t focus on how to be charismatic or vulnerable with your followers because there are thousands of books out there that address that essential topic. However, there are only a handful of books such as this that focus on the conceptual part of organizational leadership, i.e., the part of leadership no one talks about.
In this book, you will learn:
- Why your employees choose the behaviors they choose.
- Why your employees choose to follow you as their leader (or not).
- What motivates employees.
- How to recognize when a problem is a systems problem vs. a people problem.
- How to eliminate micromanagement in your organization.
- The conceptual part of leadership that results in the intrinsic motivation of your employees.
Mid-level leaders and executives in organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to large corporations, will learn how their leadership role has changed from being a first-level supervisor to now setting the direction of a division or setting the direction of the entire organization. You no longer tell the craftsman how many nails to hammer, or how many holes to drill; instead, your new focus is on getting results.
The responsibility of leadership is to visualize what can be, create a plan to make that vision a reality, and then lead to that destination. This book will give you the tools to do just that.

They actually have vastly different styles and backgrounds. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They don’t hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They don’t believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They don’t try to help people overcome their weaknesses. And, yes, they even play favorites. In this longtime management bestseller, Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers.

Through her global consulting projects, keynote speeches, and work with thousands of leaders, Karen has seen first-hand how a pervasive lack of clarity strangles business performance and erodes employee engagement.

Story
No Ego is about increasing awareness of just how often individuals are operating out of ego at work, breeding drama and discord rather than innovation and constructive collaboration. It is high time to reinvent leadership thinking. The current work experience is so full of emotional waste that it's seen as a foregone cost in today's business environments. Cy Wakeman teaches straightforward strategies in which this time and energy can be re-commissioned and put toward the value that hired talent is intended to provide.
