The Inspired Leader

Autor Andy Bird Spus de Liam Gerrard
en Limba Engleză CD-Audio

Given the turbulence of the world we now live in, clear and effective leadership has never been more important. But equally, there has never been greater pressure on leaders to perform and to provide inspirational leadership for their teams and organisations. If people are to step up into challenging leadership roles and succeed in inspiring others, their first priority must be to find ways in which to discover that inspiration for themselves. The Inspired Leader will help them to do just that.

Based on both commercial practice and research conducted with Henley Business School, Andy Bird shows the ways in which inspiration is actually experienced by people in leadership roles. The book also explores how a variety of leaders, in a range of business environments, have reached these states of inspiration in practice and how they maintain them over time, despite the many obstacles and challenges they go on to face. Divided into three key sections, the book addresses the following questions:

  • How is inspiration experienced?
  • How can inspiration be achieved?
  • How can inspiration be sustained?

The result is a compelling collection of stories and breakthrough insights, which are accompanied by a practical set of personal development tools and exercises. Together, The Inspired Leader provides unrivalled support for those in any kind of leadership role to discover their own path to a more inspired life as a leader.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Being inspired can be a magnificent, invigorating feeling. But it's also one that we know surprisingly little about. Does it happen by chance? Are all forms of inspiration the same? Can we influence how and when we feel inspired?

These are searching questions, particularly for people who take on the responsibilities and challenges of leadership. Given the tumultuous state of the world today, effective leadership throughout our organizations and communities has never been more important. Equally though, there has also never been greater pressure on leaders to perform and to provide inspirational leadership for their people and teams.

If individuals are to step up and succeed in inspiring others, their first priority must be to discover the inspiration they need for themselves. The Inspired Leader helps them do just that. The book is based on extensive new research, conducted in association with Henley Business School, into the real life experiences of leaders from many different walks of life. Drawing on the latest behavioural science, Andy Bird explains how inspiration is actually experienced by people in positions of leadership. He also examines how they maintain it over time despite the many obstacles and challenges they face.

The result is a compelling collection of stories, insights and ideas which are accompanied by a thought-provoking set of personal development tools and reflective exercises. In combination, The Inspired Leader provides unrivalled support for anyone seeking their own path to a more inspired life as a leader.

Recenzii

An excellent and uplifting book that provides genuine insight into how leaders of all types can understand what truly motivates them and how they can use this to inspire others. Given the intense personal pressures facing so many people in business today, I recommend it as a highly relevant and compelling read whatever your level of experience.
Andy Bird's uncommon combination of intellect, experience and values has created a powerful, timely and unique work. Insightful and actionable frameworks illuminated by inspiring leadership stories invite us to reflect deeply on how we can inspire ourselves to become more effective leaders - not just of our own organizations, but in the world at large.
This is a wonderful book - I am falling in love with it. I read it, and I feel better about humanity, about being a member of this funny old thing called the 'human race'. Why 'race'? The people Andy Bird writes about become more human by stopping still, by getting to know themselves better. They give up on racing and become who they are. It is a celebration of humanity, and if that isn't inspirational I don't know what is.
Unlike other books I've read in the genre, this one offers a realistic and relatable way to improving leadership qualities. The ideas and evidence provided show how, by being proactive in seeking the right sources of motivation, it's possible to become inspired to realise your potential. As a young professional, this book has also made me question my own perception of 'success' - something invaluable when setting my long-term personal and career-related goals at this stage in my life.
Inspiration is at the heart of strong leadership, but where does it come from? This book unlocks our thinking about how we can find the drive in ourselves consistently to inspire others. I wish I had read it 40 years ago.
Inspiring and bold. Andy Bird demonstrates how we can be at our best more of the time and motivate others to do the same. Leadership at its best.
When leaders know their purpose, when they are inspired, the human spark in them is ignited. This leads to a greater sense of wellbeing for them and their teams, better business performance and ultimately a better world. I am happy to see that this book focuses on helping leaders do just that. I highly recommend this essential, purposeful work.
Combining the ancient art of story-telling with cutting edge insights from behavioural science, this book provides a powerful roadmap for connecting more with what inspires you. The practical reflective exercises at the end of each chapter give the book a real feel that you are sitting in on a masterclass. Inspirational reading.
To inspire others you first need to BE inspired.and this book does exactly that. Packed with inspiration, wisdom, tools and insight, it's like having your own personal leadership guru on hand at all times. Read from cover to cover, digest it all and then become the leader you want to be. At last, a leadership handbook for everyone.
