When asked to define the ideal leader, many would emphasize traits such as intelligence, toughness, determination, and vision—the qualities traditionally associated with leadership. Often left off the list are softer, more personal qualities—but they are also essential. Although a certain degree of analytical and technical skill is a minimum requirement for success, studies indicate that emotional intelligence may be the key attribute that distinguishes outstanding performers from those who are merely adequate. Psychologist and author Daniel Goleman first brought the term "emotional intelligence" to a wide audience with his 1995 book of the same name, and Goleman first applied the concept to business with a 1998 classic Harvard Business Review article. In his research at nearly 200 large, global companies, Goleman found that truly effective leaders are distinguished by a high degree of emotional intelligence. Without it, a person can have first-class training, an incisive mind, and an endless supply of good ideas, but he or she still won't be a great leader. The chief components of emotional intelligence—self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skill—can sound unbusinesslike, but Goleman found direct ties between emotional intelligence and measurable business results. The Harvard Business Review Classics series offers you the opportunity to make seminal Harvard Business Review articles a part of your permanent management library. Each highly readable volume contains a groundbreaking idea that continues to shape best practices and inspire countless managers around the world—and will have a direct impact on you today and for years to come.

Leadership across cultural borders is the new frontier in leadership studies. Increased globalization means leaders are dealing with a variety of cultures in and out of their own countries. Leaders must be experts in understanding what cultural dimensions mean for being effective outside their own comfort zone. Americans in particular are often ill-equipped to understand the cultural complexities for international leadership. In Leadership Peruvian Style, author Tim McIntosh addresses how Peruvians define and practice leadership, providing a model to assist the cross-cultural worker in understanding leadership in both the home and host cultures. McIntosh's findings are based in an empirical study conducted in 2008 that featured focus groups composed of Peruvian citizens. The study results described in Leadership Peruvian Style are not only important for those working in Peru and other parts of Latin America, but also give insight into how to analyze the leadership profile of a particular culture and, in turn, make adjustments in order to be more effective. Through this analysis, McIntosh, who has spent twenty-seven years in leadership in Peru, has contributed to the raising up of a new generation of effective leaders in Latin America.

Join the global movement that's making corporations more people-centric to achieve great results. The world is facing a global leadership crisis. Seventy-seven percent of leaders think they do a good job of engaging their people, yet 88 percent of employees say their leaders don't engage enough. There is also a high level of suffering in the workplace: 35 percent of employees would forgo a pay raise to see their leaders fired. This is an enormous waste of human talent--despite the fact that $46 billion is spent each year on leadership development. Based on extensive research, including assessments of more than 35,000 leaders and interviews with 250 C-level executives, The Mind of the Leader concludes that organizations and leaders aren't meeting employees' basic human needs of finding meaning, purpose, connection, and genuine happiness in their work. But more than a description of the problem, The Mind of the Leader offers a radical, yet practical, solution. To solve the leadership crisis, organizations need to put people at the center of their strategy. They need to develop managers and executives who lead with three core mental qualities: mindfulness, selflessness, and compassion. Using real-world inspirational examples from Marriott, Accenture, McKinsey & Company, LinkedIn, and many more, The Mind of the Leader shows how this new kind of leadership turns conventional leadership thinking upside down. It represents a radical redefinition of what it takes to be an effective leader--and a practical, hard-nosed solution to every organization's engagement and execution problems.

Table of ContentsIntroductionResponsibilityHow Others Decide to Turn You into a Leader...A Leader as a Sounding BoardHow Dependable Are You?Leadership, through ExampleLoyalty, First and ForemostPersonal Behavioral TraitsSimplicitySelf-Control and Keeping Your TemperTact and Diplomacy and When an Apology Is NeededConclusionAppendixAuthor BioPublisherIntroductionThis book is for all those people, who have the feeling that they have leadership qualities in them, but they never got an opportunity to show their true potential, skills, and were never considered to be a leader of men.Remember, psychologically speaking, everybody out there has a subconscious desire to be looked upon as someone who is capable of taking charge, leading, advising, guiding, and with those qualities which make men follow him blindly.You are going to asked me, do I think I am a leader? I must admit that as a child I was often told by many teachers to take a leading role or part in some activity, just because I was a bit too obstreperous and pushy. And they had decided that if they gave me any particular job to do, I could manage to do it well.Remember leaders are not born, they have to be made. Nobody really wants to be a leader because that means responsibility, having to take care of other people, looking for their welfare, and having the burden of their well-being upon your shoulders, 24/7, whether you like it or not. That is expected from a good leader. So all that psychological jargon of being a born leader, is often the way for someone to describe someone else, which is a bit too aggressive, pushy, and obstreperous, wants to be in the forefront of everything, yet also has the capacity to get people to follow him.I will be giving you plenty of examples in this book, about the qualities of a leader, especially when they are made, but they have some natural qualities which make other people think, that hey, this is a leader, and is a bit more mature than the rest of his peers. So let us see if this particular alpha wolf is able to lead a team, a platoon, a contingent, a group and managed to keep all the rest of the wolves, under control.
