Why Should Anyone Be Led by You: A Harvard Business School Press Book Summary in Partnership with getAbstract

Too many companies are managed not by leaders, but by mere role players and faceless bureaucrats. "Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?" addresses what it takes to be a real leader--an authentic person who is confident in who he or she is and what he or she stands for, and who truly inspires people to achieve extraordinary results. The authors draw from extensive research to reveal how to hone and deploy one's unique leadership assets while managing the inherent tensions at the heart of successful leadership: showing emotion and withholding it, getting close to followers while keeping distance, and maintaining individuality while "conforming enough."
