From Publishers Weekly
Debbie, the
heroine of this insipid business novella, is an archetypal customer relations
executive who fails to wring improved performance from her micro-managed and
dispirited subordinates. CEO Jeff takes her under his wing to impart the
wisdom of "servant leadership" as exemplified by such figures as
Jimmy Carter, Spartacus and, most of all, Jesus of Nazareth. Under his
mentor, Debbie realizes that a leader’s role is to inspire and empower
underlings both in the workplace and in their personal lives. She learns to
delegate so that she can focus on "vision" and "values."
She commits herself to a project of "Reinventing Continuously" and
she comes to understand that, since people are essences, not constructs, it’s
better to leverage employees’ strengths rather than trying to fix their
shortcomings; hiring decisions are therefore all-important and should involve
no less than four exhaustive interviews. Armed with these principles, Debbie
makes a spectacular new hire, gets her team to come up with the slogan
"From Worst to First" and enlists them in continuous improvement of
the work process. Soon performance skyrockets (exactly how remains somewhat
mysterious), garnering Debbie a standing ovation and promotion to head of
Leadership Development. Blanchard, co-author of The One Minute Manager, and
Miller, an executive at the Chick-fil-A fast food chain, construct a rickety
fictional matrix to support their high-minded but rather familiar leadership
nostrums. Written in stilted business-school lingo ("‘Hi Deb! Looks like
you’re managing by walking around today!’"), the narrative and dialogue
elements come off as awkward filler that only accentuates the staleness of
the truisms on offer.

From the Publisher
In The
Secret, Debbie, a struggling leader finds herself about to lose her job due
to poor performance. In a desperate attempt to save her career, she enrolls
in a new mentoring program offered by her company. Much to her surprise,
Debbie finds her mentor is the president of the company (Jeff Brown).
Debbie
decides that all she needs is the answer to one question, "What is the
secret of great leaders?" She is convinced that if Jeff will tell her,
she can apply the secret in her leadership.
Over the
next 18 months Jeff explains to Debbie that the secret is rooted in an
attitude. He tells her that she must be willing to become a serving leader
rather than a self-serving leader. The secret is that all great leaders
serve.
After Debbie
learns the secret she still doesn’t know what to do next. Jeff explains that
great leaders serve in at least five ways. They…
• See and
shape the future
• Engage and
develop others
• Reinvent
continuously
• Value
results and relationships
• Embody the
values
The story
unfolds as Debbie learns and applies each of these imperatives with her team.
As a result, Debbie’s team goes from worst to first. They become the highest
performing team within the company.
In the end,
Debbie understood that all the changes and improvements were the result of
the choices she made as a leader. She realized that to SERVE is a choice.
Debbie decided once and for all, she would no longer be a self-serving
leader, she would be a serving leader! --This text refers to an out of print

From AudioFile
This
unimaginative audio handbook falls back on a tired business training
technique: telling the story of an imaginary employee who just can't seem to
lead her team to excellence. With its plodding style, the book, as delivered
by the patient, well-meaning Adamson, leads us through two CDs of information
that could have easily been conveyed on one. This is not to say the content
lacks merit, but a rewrite to update the material would enhance the
production. D.J.B. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile,

Review
"I recently won the
interview game and a terrific new job largely attributed to the author's
advice and perspective as an executive recruiter and former human resources
executive. The book should be helpful for job seekers at all
levels."" -- Brett Winson, Deputy General Manager, Head of Human
Resources, Mizuho Bank - Americas
"The author successfully
replaces concern with confidence for an upcoming interview. It worked for
me!"" -- Linda Vande Ven, Vice President and Chief Information
Officer (CIO), Harcourt Education
"As a recent graduate, I
found the book unique in describing every step of the interview process through
the experiences of an actual job seeker. The approach was instrumental in
helping to land my job."" -- Erin Gilbert, Assistant Monitoring
Coordinator, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife
"Interviewing is a major
challenge for the senior finance/accounting executives to whom I offer career
advice. This book is packed with practical solutions for challenges like
going from a large to small company, job hunting when you're over 50, and
differentiating oneself. Reading this book will prepare anyone who is
planning a job/career transition."" -- Mary Ann Lee, Career
Transition Consultant, Alumni Services, Big Four Accounting Firm"

Book Description : "If
you treat the interviewing process like the "game" that it is - and
become good at it - you'll win every time. Your success depends on mastering
the rules, understanding the players, and knowing how to score enough to win.
"Winning the Interview Game" takes you step by step from preparing
for your initial interview to preparing for your first day on the job. You'll
learn everything you need to know to: establish and maintain rapport with
interviewers; prove that you ideally suit the position's requirements; take
advantage of the pressure on recruiters and human resources departments to
fill jobs; recognize and disarm negative body language exhibited by
interviewers; and deal with difficult questions and tense situations to
salvage a less-than-perfect interview before it ends. Regardless of your age,
level of seniority, or area of expertise, this practical guide gives you the
strong competitive edge you need to defeat the competition and land the job
you want."

Book Description : In
this book, some of the world's leading scholars come together to describe
their thinking and research on the topic of the psychology of leadership.
Most of the chapters were originally presented as papers at a research
conference held in 2001 at the Kellogg School of Management of Northwestern
University. The contributions span traditional social psychological areas, as
well as organizational theory; examining leadership as a psychological
process and as afforded by organizational constraints and opportunities. The
editors' goal was not to focus the chapters on a single approach to the study
and conceptualization of leadership but rather to display the diversity of
issues that surround the topic.
Leadership scholars have identified a host of approaches to the study of leadership. What are the personal characteristics of leaders? What is the nature of the relation between leaders and followers? Why do we perceive some people to be better leaders than others? What are the circumstances that evoke leadership qualities in people? Can leadership be taught? And so on. The contributions to this book examine these important questions and fall into three categories: conceptions of leadership, factors that influence the effectiveness of leadership, and the consequences and effects of leadership on the leader. All in all, the chapters of this volume display part of a broad spectrum of novel and important approaches to the study of the psychology of leadership. We hope that they are equally useful to those who are or would be leaders and to those who study the topic. As recent events have served to remind us, it is too important a topic to be ignored by psychologists. |
