Excellent Book

Leadership Excellence should be a required read in college. The key concept that excellence exist if there are challenges is a necessary awareness for all to understand early in life. The values alignment part is also very interesting and the focus on employee recognition and it’s true importance. I highly recommend this book.

Great read, great concepts supported by empirical evidence

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2023

I found so many of the concepts resonated- put more eloquently than I can- with my experience leading very large, and small, public and private, international and domestic companies.
(In all cases, the people- and getting the most out of the people- is key.)
Love the way concepts both explained and supported by empirical data, as well as useful anecdotes.
I am anxious to apply this material to my first and fourth year college students.
Go for it.

The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership Stands the Test of Time!

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2023

The context in which leaders lead is constantly morphing and changing. While the context is the same, the authors always manage to add a spice of freshness to their books. The good news is that The Leadership Challenge 7th edition is the roadmap to navigating through change.

I love the layout and all the new research data they have included. In this edition, they have added pages about psychological hardiness, resilience and grit which leaders definitely need today.

You will appreciate the author's wisdom and their ability to articulate complex topics in a refreshing way.

In 17 words only you get the best teaching about how to practice leadership

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2023

This book provides the five practices (and is really something you can practice, i.e. do every day with your team, regardless of your personality) of leadership. Together these 5 leadership practices are easily remembered as they are described succintly and memorably: 1 - model the way; 2 - inspire a shared vision; 3- challenge the process; 4 - enable others to act; 5 - encourage the heart. That is set from the beginning the book does a deep dived for all of these based on data that the authors have been colected since 1982 until bow this edition date (2023). Basically this mean 1- being an example in deeds/actions rather than mere words; 2- provide a direction for the future which entices and excites everyone your lead; 3- be disruptive and dont take nothing for granted, improve all that can be improved; 4 teach and encourage your team so they increase their self-confidence; and 5 appeal to and recognize their emotions for example by celebrating big achievements. The one main message of the books is that if you do these practices routinely then when your team or organization faces a huge challenge or setback, odds are that you will overcome it successfully unlike teams that are not as well led in practice as this book recommends. Some books throw at you everything about leadership and every detail, and in many cases just based on n=1 or authors opinions, some contradictory and not allways applicable in all cases, By contrast this books seems to me is the best in the subject and is the most succint as it focus in practices that really apply everywhere, backed by data. Finally this 2023 7th edition is relevant because it is post covid. Thus addresses all the new challenges such as retaining employees and working and leading remotely but productively.
