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.
Make a great creation from your leadership, by adding those "color" effects that would determine the achievement of the desired performance level. Have you ever wondered which it is the biggest desire of an artist? Probably, to discover the mysteries of art, of painting, and to succeed to conquer the eyes of all people. In order to create an exceptional picture, so precisely, so clear and as well-defined as a photo, the painter needs a lot of inspiration, and a unique technique, superior, flawless. And only the interesting paintings demonstrate his proficiency. If the people’s look does not remain animated of his work, as if they were enchanted, then he is not a great artist, and his working technique it is not unmatched. Can you assign your leadership a special glow? In the heart of a true artist lies an endless power of creation, each new picture is more expressive, more beautiful and better performed than others. His art has all the crafts and all the elegancies, he likes to stir curiosity through unforeseen, sometimes to deceive the looks, through the games of color and funny illusions. It is almost impossible to reach a higher level, to attend only success, if through the work that you display you do not become an exception in the eyes of all people – that would produce an "awakening" in their mind and soul. Your value is determined by your ability to make progress in the area in which you activate, and according to the results that you register. Just as a painter, in order to achieve the finest effects must have a complex palette that does not stop at a limited number of colors - and so you, in order to make a great creation from your leadership, you must add those "color" effects to determine the achievement of the desired performance level. You must give him some glow to your leadership, a specific luster, so to not ever lose its charm. However, for that you must have a complex palette of techniques and tools that would allow you to get best results. The real measure of a human value The measure your leadership talent is given by the value of your potential influence. The more you own a better leadership technique, the more you will point higher, and the higher will be your ranking, thus you could maintain yourself at the height of your performance. The development of a leadership technique that would come to fulfill the needs of the organization and its staff is one of the key characteristics of a manager. The managers are also artists, through the way they carry on their activities, through the way they lead their organizations. Even so, very few of them hold a peerless leadership technique like the one used by Jack Welch, is not it? Few people manage to keep their organizations in the top during the crisis, like Lee Iacocca did, few succeeded to transform their organizations into a financial giant, like Bill Gates did, and hence, few people can be considered masters in the area of leadership. The good news is that, just like a painter, talent is not necessary for an individual to become exceptional in the leadership position that he holds, but the technique that he developed in time, which he practices and uses all the time. If his leadership technique is effective, he will be exceptional, and then the company will be exceptional, as well. There is a technique in management that it is less learned from the books, but more from the daily exercises, with the little or great successes or failures. Sometimes, it takes more, sometimes it takes less to raise your rank up to an art level. What it matters the most, though, is not self-evaluation as much as the evaluation of others, be they “smaller” or “bigger” than you. P.S. An important thing for those who aspire in holding the art of management is the fact that it has a personal and an inimitable character.
