Fierce Resolve by Jim Collins
Product 1479
Collection Overview
It’s a frustrating fact of leadership: Sometimes you’re on your game; sometimes you’re not. How to tip the scale toward excellence and away from mere competence? Don’t rely on imitating other leaders or poring over leadership manuals. Instead, tap into the abilities you’ve already acquired while surmounting tough personal and professional challenges in the past. COPYRIGHT © 2005 HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL PUBLISHING CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
At the same time, capitalize on your employees’ unique talents: Instead of trying to change your people, identify their unique abilities—even their eccentricities.
Then help them use those qualities to excel in their own way. You’ll save time, teach your employees to value differences, and build a powerful sense of team. As you activate the leader within you— and the achiever inside each employee— remember: Though great leaders may differ in their surface-level characteristics, deep down truly great leaders have one thing in common: they all possess the humility needed to subjugate their egos to something larger and more sustaining than themselves. And they don’t tolerate mediocrity in their own or their people’s performance. Their reward? Ever higher levels of achievement from everyone around them.
