Description

How to Lead without Domineering: 29 Smart Leadership Rules is a tool book that contains valuable suggestions for self-reflection by leaders in a variety of roles on the job, in a honorary post, or in any other context. Leaders reach their own limits and the limits of others, but how can they overcome these limits What is characteristic for a good leader and how is it possible to achieve ones objectives in cooperation with others Wise leaders support contexts, form relationships, and promote spirit by consolidating the momentum or the dynamic of groups, teams, and organizations. These leaders rarely use commands or lay down the law. Clever leadership implies taking risks, as leaders who adopt the principles of this book give up one-dimensional arguing and if-then-logic statements. Dr. Arnold presents different tools for clever and effective leadership and shows how typical challenges for today's leader can be met. His book is based on recent scientific findings in the field of leadership research and on almost thirty years of practical experience as a leader, supervisor, and coach within different fields and organizations worldwide.

Reviews

This is a book for which we waited a long time. For too long, emotionally-poor leaders have damaged our people and weakened our organizations. Rolf Arnolds book is a new starting point for emotional literacy for leaders. It opens our minds, providing us with prudent rules, tools, and instruments about the art of leading yourself, other people, and organizations. Arnolds views are a breath of fresh air. I have learned much. -- Dr. Ulrich Erhardt, chief executive officer, Denkmodell International Consulting, Berlin, Germany
