Story
Have you ever asked yourself why some people are more successful than others? What is it that makes them leaders that stand out in the crowd? Their work ethic and personality could be contributing factors, but that is only one part of the story. The rest of the story is one that only emotional intelligence can tell. We are emotional. Sometimes, we respond based on those emotions. We even make decisions based on those emotions. Whether it turns out to be a good thing or not depends entirely on the way we learn how to control these emotions.

Story
Do you wish you knew how to manage your team better, and get them to commit to your bold vision? The truth is...the majority of managers are simply not very good at goal-setting. (Because they were never taught how to do it properly.) Most corporate goals are never completed on time, and even your highly-educated employees are (usually) not working on essential tasks during the workday. This can be damaging to your career, and can destroy your productivity.

Leadership is a term that people perceive very differently. Most think of CEOs, managers, and coaches and while that is of course true, it is much more than that. A leader is a person who goes in front of new projects, ideas or trends, and who can direct others towards a common goal. It doesn’t even have to be on a big scale. Remember that teacher who sparked your interest in mathematics or literature? Or your father who motivated you to do your homework when it was difficult? Leaders can be found everywhere in society, and you don’t need a big title to become one.

Stephen R.

Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answer some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.

Publisher's Summary
Do you wish you were a better leader? Do you have trouble keeping your employees focused, and committed to your corporate vision?
The truth is...the majority of new bosses struggle to keep their team responsive and motivated. Often, new managers might have trouble embracing their leadership role. Perhaps you've worked for a bully once yourself, and you don't want to be the "bad guy". You'd like to be regarded with admiration by your employees - not with annoyance.
- So, how can you distinguish yourself as a true leader?
- How can you become the person that employees look up to?
The solution lies in understanding that most employees seek more than just a paycheck. They aspire to work with leaders who possess exceptional skill and gritty determination. Leaders who inspire superior work, commitment, and respect. Great leaders don't need to pay for such sentiments. Instead, they know how to arouse them naturally.
This audiobook will teach you how to be a great boss and a team leader!
We will bypass the typical dreary management mumbo-jumbo, and show you how to apply timeless leadership principles - to unlock your team's hidden potential.
You will learn:
- The one annoying attribute of traditional management schemas - that causes so many bosses to fail.
- Learn why bosses, like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, are so good at inspiring people to achieve their fullest potential.
- How to challenge your team to be more productive and autonomous.
- The essential psychological attributes that separate the good leaders from the great leaders.
- How to deal with employees that aren't meeting your expectations.
- How to nurture your mind via sleep and meditation - so you can stay calm and collected, in any stressful situation.
- How to implement the SMART and OKR goal-setting and goal-tracking frameworks - designed to keep your team on track, and working (harmoniously) toward your corporate vision.
Even if you only manage a small business (with one or two employees), this audiobook is still an invaluable resource for any boss.

There's a subtle set of skills one needs to be a leader. The book starts off strong, with a tidy set of rules I wish I would have known in my earlier years. Recommended.
