Jocelyn Davis

"THE GREATS ON LEADERSHIP: 20 CLASSIC THINKERS TEACH US TO LEAD You don't need a big title or a business degree in order to lead with impact. What you need is practical wisdom: the insight, judgment, and strength of character that all great leaders have, but that most business schools and corporate workshops don't teach. The Greats on Leadership gets you there.Jocelyn Davis takes you on an in-depth tour of the best leadership ideas of the past twenty-five centuries-featuring classic authors from Plato to Winston Churchill, William Shakespeare to Jane Austen, Alexander Hamilton to Peter Drucker, and many more-combined with the best contemporary leadership concepts and plenty of real-life tools and examples. No matter where in the organization you sit, this remarkably readable and practical guide will set you on the road to becoming a great leader. THE GREATS ON LEADERSHIP features: Leaders vs. Misleaders (Moses) Leadership Traps (Shakespeare) Change (Machiavelli) Justice (Plato) Power (Sophocles) Authority (Shakespeare) Crises (Shakespeare) Competition (Hannibal) Dilemmas (Madison, Hamilton) Communication (Pericles, Lincoln) Motivation (Viktor Frankl) Personality (C.G. Jung) Decisions (Roald Dahl) Culture (Ruth Benedict) Relationships (Maupassant) Accountability (Melville) Talent (Austen) Vision (G.B. Shaw) Character (Churchill, Shelley, Plutarch, Joyce) Leadership Levels (Lao Tzu) "--
