Leadership Levers

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Diana Jones has managed something few others can claim - merging rigorous research with highly pragmatic and specific advice for leaders. Leaders who dedicate themselves to learning what she has to teach will not only immediately improve the likelihood of success, they will be more capable in virtually any future situation. Rarely does a book offer advice, the rationale for the advice, and tell the reader what to do when things go awry. This book should be on every leader's desk, read and re-read because the first reading will provoke change and second allow deep understanding.

-- Constance Dierickx, Ph.D., The Decision Doctor (R)

Diana Jones helps us to see the invisible cords of leadership - it's not the job title or mastery of content that matters, but mastery of relationships. This book is full of insights into how we can better understand and dramatically influence the interpersonal dynamics of the leadership challenge.

-- Murray Sherwin, Former Chair of the New Zealand Productivity Commission

Leadership Levers is a landmark book. Diana Jones makes the invisible visible, slaughters the sacred cows of "engagement" and '"consensus," and truly shows how to release untapped potential in organisations.

-- Andrew Hollo, Author of From Impossible to Possible

Diana compellingly articulates what we might intuitively know but struggle to describe. She makes the case for leadership of both the head and the heart, then methodically sets about explaining how to go about this - whether she is talking about navigating the complexity of multi-force stakeholder dynamics, the direct relationship between purpose and results, or shifting the way we should think about meetings. Insightful and pragmatic, Leadership Levers stands out both new leaders and the experienced who are wondering why they are struggling to get results.
