The Art of Leadership

The Art of Leadership 6th edition is based on two ideas: nbsp;1. nbsp;Leadership will take place to the extent the leader cares about the work to be done. nbsp;Equally important the leader must care about people. nbsp;Neither of these qualities is sufficient without the other and neither can be false. nbsp;People know when the leader cares. nbsp;When the leader is committed to the task and is concerned about people these qualities serve as magnets and motivators to followers and their potential for achievement becomes enormous.2. nbsp;Leadership is an art that can be developed through mastery of nine key areas of success. nbsp;The successful leader must possess knowledge and skills in the following areas: nbsp;understanding leadership variables the power of vision the importance of ethics the empowerment of people leadership principles understanding people multiplying effectiveness developing others and performance management.nbsp;The difference between most other leadership texts and the Art of Leadership 6th edition can be compared to the difference between a lecture and seminar. nbsp;Although both are good educational vehicles the lecture is better for conveying large amounts of information while the seminar is better for developing skills and attitudes. nbsp;A good lecture is interesting and builds knowledge while a good seminar is stimulating and builds competency. nbsp;Without sacrificing either theoretical foundation or important content the 6th edition of The Art of Leadership emphasizes the interactive seminar approach to learning.nbsp;
