The Respectful Leader

Seven Ways to Influence Without Intimidation

De: Gregg Ward, Walter G. Meyer

Narrado por: Paul Boehmer

Boost morale and productivity by leading with respect.

The Respectful Leader presents an engaging, thought-provoking lesson for companies seeking off-the-charts performance. Author Gregg Ward draws on 25 years of leadership consulting, coaching, and training experience to reveal the secret to great results: respect. In this true-to-life business fable, he shares the story of Des Hogan, a CEO who discovers that disrespectful behavior on the part of his leadership team is eating away at his company's morale, productivity, and profits. At a loss for a solution, he meets Grace - a straight-shooting, self-described "little old lady" in the maintenance department. With her no-nonsense advice, he sets out to revamp the culture and turn his company around; but first he has to turn inward and realize that his own behavior sets the tone for the company at every level. This enlightening, engaging, and honest story will help you recognize and analyze your own behaviors and interactions and show you how to create a winning culture based on leading with respect.

Intimidation, micromanagement, and insecurity do not drive top-level performance. True success is built on free-flowing, trusted, and open collaboration between departments, levels, and specialties. This audiobook shows you how to build respect among the ranks - from the top down.

• Learn the key respectful leadership behaviors that significantly impact morale
• Learn how to adjust your own and others' attitudes to boost productivity, teamwork, and profits
• Benefit personally and professionally by leading from a place of mutual respect and consideration

People perform best when they feel valued and valuable. And when they are respected for their experience, talents, and skills, they'll become personally invested in outcomes - both short- and long-term - and consistently go the extra mile. Respectful leadership ignites passion, innovation, creativity, and efficiency while control-based leadership and intimidation breed complacency and mediocrity. Which environment would better serve your company? The Respectful Leader shows you how to achieve sustainable success with a simple behavioral paradigm shift.

I will be recommending this book to everyone I know. We are all leaders in some way. In the work place or in the home. This book explicitly lays out what respectful leadership looks and sounds like and its affects on all. Some may find this information to be common sense or natural to them, but for many these things have to be worked on intentionally.
