WHY SHOULD ANYONE BE LED BY YOU? WITH A NEW PRE...

Are you an authentic leader?   Too many companies are managed not by leaders but by mere role
players and faceless bureaucrats. What would it take to replace these empty suits with real
leaders--men and women who are confident in who they are and what they stand for and who truly
inspire people to achieve extraordinary results? Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones argue that leaders
don't become great by aspiring to a list of universal character traits. Rather  effective
leaders are authentic: they deploy individual strengths to engage followers' hearts  minds  and
souls. Authentic leaders are skillful at consistently being themselves  even as they alter
their behavior to respond effectively to changing contexts.  In short  the authors present a
powerful case: that it takes "being yourself  in context  with skill" to be a successful 
authentic leader--and they show you how to do exactly that. In this lively and practical book 
Goffee and Jones draw from extensive research to reveal how to hone and deploy your unique
leadership assets while managing the inherent tensions at the heart of successful leadership:
when to show emotion and when to withhold it  how to get close to followers while maintaining
an appropriate role distance  and maintaining your individuality while "conforming enough" to
gain traction and lead change. Underscoring the inherently social nature of leadership  the
book also explores how leaders can stay attuned to the needs and expectations of followers. Why
Should Anyone Be Led by You? will forever change how we view  develop  and practice the art of
leadership  wherever we live and work.
