This
American book describes a leadership approach and personal discipline
that managers can choose to adopt at work and generally. He
emphasises the important of self-awareness and the kind of model
of appropriate behaviours or habits that managers should present

Habits of Highly Effective People" model. |

Emotional
Intelligence
Daniel Goleman |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Are
those who "win" the ones with traditional IQ intelligence or
does EQ have a more significant role. And what about Spiritual
Intelligence (not covered here)? Self-awareness seems to be
the key. |

Synchronicity:
The Inner Path of Leadership
Joseph Jaworski |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
A
very personal book about how the author developed ideas about
leadership, the people with whom he discussed some fundamental
issues about his personal stance and activities, and how he
moved forward in his life. Sounds fanciful but it is one of
those books you keep reading to get to the end-point. |

Profound
Simplicity
Will Schutz |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
A
US "New Age" book that will help managers think hard about their
beliefs and ways of doing things. As Schutz says "there is no
such thing as an accident" - and if we suspend our immediate
disbelief, we might actually end up agreeing with him. |

|
|
|
|
| |

An
optimistic book about people's potential to grow and contribute
much more to their organisation. Worth reading to check out

back characteristics than you would like. |
