Learn the Secrets to Becoming an Exceptional Leader

Daniel V. RusteenDaniel V. Rusteen: Probably my favorite section about how to deal with undesirable behaviors from employees (this is the type of actionaable thoughout this book): If your direct report fails to deliver and doesn't see or admit they are not delivering, you have to identify the issue(s), have three examples per issue, ensure that person acknowledges and agrees that they're below the bar you've set before determining an appropriate action plan, have a meeting with them to correct it via an action plan. Do this two-months in a row and fire at the end of the second month.

Angus: In a world of complicated management texts, this book is fantastically simple to grasp and has practical tools to implement. Anyone contemplating a cultural challenge in their organisation should consider this read.

Rosa Espinal: Our organization has adopted the Traction methods outlined by Gino Wickman in the book by the same name. I purchased this one when doing research for books to include in our leadership development program and loved the simplicity of the framework the author provides. We have now included this in our program for all our leaders.

Amazon Customer: O ponto negativo do livro é que é em inglês, então quem não tem intimidade com a língua pode não aproveitar muito, porém não precisa ser fluente, o livro não usa termos técnicos e já seguindo a linha de Gino Wickman, ele usa uma linguagem simples e objetiva, o que facilita a leitura para os que tem inglês intermediário e avançado.

O livro já começa quebrando uma barreira minha sobre o termo chefe, eu que não gostava muito de ser chamado assim, passei a ter simpatia, originário do holandês. “Baas” é usado para a pessoa que está liderando como uma forma de respeito. Mas veja que ele é usado pelo liderado e não pelo líder. Você pode se chamar de gerente, diretor, presidente, mas não de chefe, isso cabe ao seu liderado te identificar como tal.

Leitura para todos os gestores. Iniciantes irão tirar ótimos aprendizados. Experientes se não tiver aprendizados, com certeza gostarão da leitura para reforçar alguns valores e encontrar um pouco de combustível para realizar essa desafiadora missão de liderar.

Ótima leitura!!!

Kathleen: I liked the simplicity of the message- this was a quick read. As with Wickman’s other books about the EOS- (Traction and Get a Grip), there are useful forms included and helpful lists and exercises to lead and manage others. This book will be most useful for entrepreneurs who want to be great leaders and managers of people in their organizations, and likely don’t have HR professionals on staff to advise them. The only reason I didn’t rank this a 5 is that I am a tough rater, and this didn’t include any new information for me- it covers the basics, so is a good refresher for some who already know these principles.
