Explore "Leading with Conviction" by Shalom Saada Saar on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Writing a serious book about leadership is no small feat. For the last three decades we have traveled the world, meeting scores of executives in large public companies, emerging start-up organizations, and governmental agencies. In our work, we have escorted leaders on their journey-helping them to master the difficult balance between the technical tasks and the relationship aspects of leading. We have advised them to dig deeply into their character in order to understand what makes them who they truly are, and to identify the leadership legacy they aspire to leave behind.
As we pored over the data we had accumulated, we began to see the patterns that underlie good and bad leadership. More specifically, we found that certain traits influenced outcomes for individuals and organizations in critical ways. The purpose of this book is to share what we have learned about the fundamental "pillars" of leadership. Our goal is to help readers examine their beliefs and behaviors and develop the skills needed to effectively lead today's organizations with integrity and conviction.
