Summary

Designed to challenge and inspire anyone who is seeking a deeper understanding of management, Lessons in Leadership provides a series of reflections on the very fundamentals of leadership as a management function. 
In the midst of current global concerns about the quality of leadership, this book is both a practical handbook and a vital contribution to the ongoing debate about what kind of leadership we should be encouraging in today's volatile and uncertain world. 
 
Sometimes it's easy to lose sight of the basics in this dynamic sector. To help steer both current and future leaders to greatness, John Adair has distilled his vast experience into 12 key guiding concepts, including:  
 
·         Leading from the front;  
·         Integrity; 
·         The strategic leader; 
·         Warmth and humanity; and  
·         Sharing dangers and hardships. 
 
Leadership and change go hand in hand – but even during times of change, the basic building blocks of leadership remain the same. Lessons in Leadership is the first book in the John Adair Masterclass Series, and it offers guidance, inspiration, reassurance and insight for anyone who is expected to lead or who wants to refresh and sharpen their current leadership practices.
Available since: 06/28/2019.
Print length: 184 pages.

    What does it take to do more with less? How can you do better  than before, or better than others? How do you turn losses into  wins, or near-bankruptcy into strong profitability, or abject  failure into stellar success?  The power of uplift enables any organization to do more with  less, beat the competition, and perform better than ever. Leaders  who uplift their employees passions, intellects, and  commitments produce remarkable results.  Based on original research from a seven-year global study,  Uplifting Leadership reveals how leaders from diverse  organizations inspired and uplifted their teams performance.  Distilling the six common characteristics of leaders at  high-performing organizations across business, sports, and  education, authors Andy Hargreaves, Alan Boyle, and Alma Harris  explore the nature of uplift, its impact on performance, and the  ways to achieve it within and beyond an organizations walls,  revealing how leaders:    Identify and articulate an inspiring dream that is coherently  connected to the best of what the organization has been before  Pursue that dream at a sustainable pace without squandering  resources, incurring excessive debt, or burning people out  Forge paths of innovation and improvement that others have  overlooked or rejected  Monitor progress by using metrics and indicators in a mindful  and meaningful way  Build teams that naturally pull people into change rather than  pushing them through it      Featuring case studies of organizations as diverse as  Shoebuy.com, Fiat, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Marks & Spencer,  Cricket Australia, Burnley Football Club, and the Vancouver Giants,  as well as world-leading educational systems, Uplifting  Leadership provides tools for leaders to incorporate these  performance-driving strategies into their own.  For leaders who want their people to try harder, transform what  they do, reach for a higher purpose, and stay resolute and  resilient when opposing forces threaten to defeat them,  Uplifting Leadership provides a path to better performance  across any organization.

    The Peasants' Revolting Lives

    The author of the Horrible Histories series tells the unpleasant truth about what the poor have endured in this sharp-witted, pull-no-punches book.   British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli once described the rich and poor as “two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other’s habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets.”   Today we’re well aware of the habits, thoughts, and feelings of the rich, because historians write about them endlessly. The poor, though, are largely ignored and, as a result, their contributions to our modern world are forgotten. Here, Terry Deary takes us back through the centuries with a poignant but humorous look at how life treated the ordinary people who scratched out a living at the very bottom of society. Their world was one of foul food, terrible toilets, danger, disease and death—the last usually premature. Wryly told tales of deprivation, exploitation, sickness, mortality, warfare, and religious oppression fill these pages—the teacher turned child-catcher who rounded up local waifs and strays before putting them to work; the agricultural workers who escaped the clutches of the Black Death only to be thwarted by lordly landowners; the hundreds of children who descended into the inky depths of hazardous coal mines.   You’ll discover ingenuity: how cash-strapped citizens used animal droppings for house building, how sparrow’s brains were incorporated into aphrodisiacal brews, and how extra money was made by mixing tea with dried elder leaves—and learn how courtship, marriage, sport, entertainment, education, and, occasionally, achievement briefly illuminated the drudgery. The Peasants’ Revolting Lives explores, commemorates, and celebrates the lives of those who endured against the odds. From medieval miseries to the idiosyncrasies of being a twenty-first-century peasant, tragedy and comedy sit side by side in these tales of survival in the face of hardship.
