The Ordinary Leader: 10 Key Insights for Building and Leading a Thriving Organization - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

An ordinary leader is someone who leads a small organization or team that is doing great things. They manage the majority of the world’s workforce, but they don’t lead large corporations or big government agencies. Ordinary leaders are rarely written about in books or quoted in magazines. They are, however, important. Maybe not globally, but in their own realm of influence, their leadership makes a difference. The term ''ordinary'' is also used to highlight the belief that no one ever arrives as a leader. In fact, if someone thinks of themselves as extraordinary, they will not be a very effective leader. Author Randy Grieser presents 10 key insights for building and leading a thriving organization. These are the principles he identifies as instrumental to success as a leader. Writing for leaders everywhere, he inspires, motivates, and explains how to make each insight a reality in your organization. Become a more passionate, productive, and visionary leader by exploring and embracing these 10 insights:

Motivation and Employee Engagement: Organizations flourish when employees go beyond what is expected of them.

Passion: A passionate, inspired workforce begins with the leader.

Vision: Visionary leaders energize and inspire people to work towards a future goal.
