The Best of Adair on Leadership and Management is a goldmine of ideas, advice and techniques from one of the world's leading writers on management and leadership.
This insightful book brings together all of John Adair's essential thinking on:
* Time-management
* Decision-making and problem-solving
* Creativity and innovation
* Leadership and teambuilding
* Motivation and people management
* Communication and presentation skills
With in-depth and practical guidance through experiences and insights, this book delves deep into the world of leadership and management, relying on a large number of charts, diagrams and forms.
In a nutshell, this book covers 'the human side of enterprise' in two parts: Self-management and managing others. After all, you need to be able to manage yourself before you can manage others.
The core of Adair's philosophy, the three-circles model brings to life the role of the leader, namely achieving the task, building the team and developing the individual.
The Best of Adair on Leadership and Management gives you the tools to fulfil your own personal vision of what a leader should be, know and do.
"John Adair is without doubt one of the foremost thinkers on the subject in the world."
Sir John Harvey-Jones
