The essential characteristic of this book in comparison with others on the market in the same domain is that it describes through examples the ideal competences of a leader. I never claimed that it's easy to become a good leader, but if people will...
I wrote this book that conjoins in a simple way personal development with leadership, just like a puzzle, where you have to match all the given pieces in order to recompose the general image.
The aim of this book is to offer you information through concrete examples and to show you how to obtain the capacity to make others see things from the same angle as you.
Take a step forward in developing your own personality, by maximizing your moral responsibility towards your own beliefs and actions. If you become chief of police on the Amity Island, nobody will ever have the courage to contradict your opinios and beliefs. Nobody will influence the decisions that you will take your professional life and your mood. In fact, undoubtedly, you will be surrounded by people who will appreciate you and will truly sustain you in everything you have to accomplish, in all your initiatives and all future projects. But what do you do when you confront a much harder situation for your experience? A white shark killed a teenager that was swimming near the shore. It is necessary, therefore, to take immediate specific measures to reduce the risk of a future attack of the killer shark. If you are like the police chief Martin Brody, the main character in the movie "Jaws (1975)", probably you will listen to the city mayor and you will hide this incident from the rest of the people, especially because The Day Of America is approaching, when the whole beach will be full and the profit will grow. But behold, shark makes his re-appearance and kills another person. The mother of the victim comes to you, crying, and after she gives a slap to you, she blames you that, although you knew about the shark, you let the people swim. What do you do now? You close the beach definitely? I hope from the bottom of my heart that you are not like the chief of police from the movie, who didn't close the beach even after this. At the insistence and pleading of the mayor and the investors, who wanted to gain money, Martin Brody let the beach open for the people, until of course the shark makes another victim. Development of the character must be the main responsibility of a leader People who have weak character avoid taking firm decisions when it's about a major risk. Often they are influenced by clever people, who want more money and who have a great force of manipulating. The difference between a leader and an ordinary man it's not the lack of knowledge, but the lack of consistency. The best leaders have great achievements because they act fast because they get involved with firmness in solving their problems and they are capable of taking major decisions in risky situations. In a high level job, there is no place for a man who doesn't know how to impose his point of view when it's needed, who doesn't have the courage to face all the hard things, who do not assume the moral responsibility and doesn't take action with maximum efficiency when things go wrong. Just as the companies are mainly focused on ensuring the implementation of basic elements better than the competition, so you should focus your entire essence of your leadership on the exercise of that moral responsibility (which emerges from the special status that you have) better than anyone else. In life you will confront very often, with situations that might not be under your control, but your character will always be a cornerstone which will help you control the events that can be controlled. Because of your stout hearted character, each time you will make a decision, you will make a step forward in developing your own personality. Whatever the talents you have, you will never succeed in becoming a valuable leader if you don't know how to assume your responsibility in crisis situations, if you don't involve more and more in resolving the problems and if you are not sufficiently determined to "play hard." Take a step forward in developing your own personality, by maximizing your moral responsibility towards your own beliefs and actions.
