Flaptekst

Too many business books are long on aspirational and motivational speeches and short on concrete business advice that you can use every day in the office. They may make you feel like you can scale Mount Everest, but they won't help you navigate the looming company merger or tell you how to deal with that struggling manager. In Leadership Wise, Chief Product Officer at Podium, John Foreman, delivers a singularly practical take on business leadership. John goes beyond discussing what a leader should look like to show that you can make better decisions over time to help your organization accomplish its goals. This book doesn't require you to magically change your personality. It's about helping you make solid, data-driven choices over and over again. You won't need to pretend to be a 5-star general or some mythical titan of industry. You'll just need to follow its straightforward and crystal-clear roadmap to making good decisions, frequently. You'll learn how to become comfortable with the unending contradictions you'll encounter in business leadership. You'll also discover effective strategies for defining your priorities and those of your organization, considering options, and choosing the best course of action available to you. The author offers advice on how to channel your emotions and your company's culture more effectively to solve difficult problems. The perfect resource for new and experienced down-to-earth leaders in real companies doing their best to make the best decisions possible with the information they have, Leadership Wise will earn a place in the hands of managers, executives, directors, entrepreneurs, founders, and other business leaders everywhere.
