Twenty years after creating the phenomenal bestselling classic The
One Minute Manager, Ken Blanchard returns to its roots with the
most powerful and essential title in the series as he explores the
skills needed to empower yourself to success. In this captivating
business parable, bestselling author Ken Blanchard tells the story
of Steve, a young advertising executive who is about to lose his
job. During a series of talks with a gifted magician named Cayla,
Steve comes to realize the power of taking responsibility for his
situation and not playing the victim. Passing along the knowledge
she has learned from The One Minute Manager, Cayla teaches Steve
the three tricks of self leadership. These three techniques not
only empower him to keep his job, but give him the skills he needs
to keep growing, learning, and achieving. The primary message of
SELF-LEADERSHIP AND THE ONE MINUTE MANAGER is that power, freedom,
and autonomy come from having the right mindset and the skills
needed to take personal responsibility for success.
In a world becoming more and more virtual, human relations skills
are being lost -- along with the skill of leadership. And yet never
before have these abilities been more valuable or sought after.
What's needed is a new type of leader -- one who can inspire and
motivate others while adhering to timeless leadership principles
such as flexibility, adaptability, trustworthiness, and
distribution of power. With "Leadership Mastery," you will identify
your strengths and adopt effective strategies to:
- Gain the respect and admiration of others using little-known
secrets of America's most successful leaders
- Get family, friends, and coworkers to do what you ask because
they want to, not because they have to
- Respond effectively in a crisis
- Make powerful decisions and follow through on them using
Carnegie's action formula
Incorporating interviews with top leaders in business,
entertainment, sports, and academia, "Leadership Mastery" stands
next to the classic "How to Win Friends and Influence People."
This book provides readers with the latest research on the dynamics
of language and language diversity in professional contexts.
Bringing together novel findings from a range of disciplines, it
challenges practitioners and management scholars to question the
conventional understanding of language as a tool that can be
managed by language policies that 'standardize' language. Each of
the contributions is designed to recognize the strides that have
been made in the past two decades in research on language and
languages in organizational settings while addressing remaining
blind spots and emerging issues. Particular attention is given to
multilingualism, sociolinguistic approaches to language in the
workplace, migration challenges, critical perspectives on the power
of language use and the management of organizations as dialogical,
discursive spaces. Understanding the Dynamics of Language and
Multilingualism in Professional Contexts offers new insights into
familiar and less familiar issues for international business
scholars, sociolinguists, management practitioners and business
communication scholars and experts, and brings understanding to the
central role that language usage and linguistic diversity play in
organisational processes.
