Description:

Everything you need to know about leadership...in 60 seconds. Leadership has mushroomed in recent years. There are too many books, journals, courses, gurus, theories & articles about leadership, all using too many words to over-complicate some essential truths. Leadership development is one of the most urgent tasks facing most organisations and individual managers (I have research stats. to back this up). There is no time to navigate and digest the leadership material out there. The 60 Second Leader does this job for you. (Aims to become trusted advisor on this subject). It guides you through what is 'out there' in the leadership field. It de-mystifies, de-bunks and de-words, leaving you… with a clear path forward for yourself and your organization. Saves you time. Your trusted advisor in making sense of and choosing from range of leadership thinking and offers in the market. The '60 Second' brand is an obvious nod to The One Minute Manager, but also plays into the current feeling that we need to be simple and instinctive rather than ponderous, complex and over-analytical (Blink, Jack Welch's Straight From The Gut and other books have pulled the pendulum back from slow and complicated and deliberative and scientific and researched to lean and fast and instinctive and more human - 'gut leadership' Welch calls it). The success of The Week (a digest of newspapers and magazines published weekly) and the emergence of summarising services such as Bulletpoint (a newsletter that summarises management trends, magazines, books) and even the executive book summary services on the web are examples of the demand for filtering - wherever a market becomes saturated with information, the targeted recipients want a trusted advisor that can filter and distil the essence of what they need to know, because they don't have time to do it themselves. * Structured so it can be read in time chunks, consistent with the '60-Second' proposition * Text features and sectioning will allow reader to roam around the book using contents page and/or sub-heads at top of pages ('flick' navigation - stopping at what grabs their attention) eg * Leadership theory section structured at page-per-theory, with headline signposts * Guru section features one page on each guru, each signposted at the top with a cross-head showing the guru's name, and opposite that a page of resources and references (recommended books, sample quotes) to take that guru further if the reader wants to * Unlikely to be read in linear fashion - reader is more likely to think 'I'd like to lead like Branson' and turn to page on him, then think 'What about Murdoch?' and turn to page on him' and 'What leadership style do I have myself?' and turn to that section * i.e. easy to devote a few minutes at a time to the book and, each time, come away with well-defined benefits * But can be read in a linear way if the reader reads books that way
