De: Thomas Gordon

Narrado por: Laurie Andrews

In today's high-tech, globally connected business world, the challenge for leaders remains the same - motivating people to work together and contribute to the success of the organization. Armed with Leader Effectiveness Training (L.E.T.) skills, people work with you, not just for you.

L.E.T. has changed countless corporations and private businesses with its down-to-earth communication and conflict-resolution skills. Dr. Gordon's L.E.T. program is a core program in more than 1,000 corporations around the world, including many Fortune 500 companies.

The methods and skills that have proven to be essential for so many leaders can work for you, too. L.E.T. provides specific skills so you can:

Resolve conflicts between the needs of individuals and organizations.

Motivate your group members to work independently and responsibly.

Evaluate the performance of others (or deal with their unacceptable behavior) without creating resentment or damaging self-esteem.

Make meetings more productive, move from talk to action, speed up decision-making, and guarantee follow-through.

Promote teamwork; draw creative ideas from group members, and resolve stalemates.

Decrease power struggles and increase your influence with your superiors.

Literally a Leadership Training Course

This is A REALLY concise book about leadership with multiple angles on also team management, task setting and goal achievement.

I listened to this as an audio book and was able to get a nice overview of the needs of people and how you can be a leader who empowers the growth of all those around you and at the same time rally a strong team to get a job well done.

Would definitely re-read the physical book and write up action plans to apply to my organisations.

Valuable, implementable management solutions!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes, I saw the value immediately and could apply the strategies from the start.

Has Leader Effectiveness Training (L.E.T.) turned you off from other books in this genre?

No.

What does Laurie Andrews bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I wasn't impressed by the Narrator.

Could you see Leader Effectiveness Training (L.E.T.) being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No.

Any additional comments?

Practical theories every manager should know!

Tough listen, good content

Narrator runs on without breaks. Had to slow down to .8 speed. Which makes it very robotic and unemotional listen. Gordon has great content, I took one of the classes in the past, was using this as a refresher. will have to finish at a later date when I have more patience. Made it about halfway through.

Much easier to listen to than to read!

Tried to read it a while ago and it was a challenge for me to stay focused although the information is really great. so much easier to listen to and I plan on listening again soon so I can retain even more information from this book!

boring, full of ads

this book is usekess, boring and full of advertising of author classes and courses. don't waste your time.

unlike p.e.t. this book deserve 2 stars at best.
