The Leadership Pill : The Missing Ingredient in Motivating People Today
How can you become a more successful manager, a stronger team leader,
and a motivator who gets the best results from a group? The Leadership
Pill provides the answer. An entertaining and inspiring parable about
the competition between two leaders with totally different management
styles, here is a story that reveals the ingredients of truly effective
leadership.
Consider this tantalizing possibility: What if there was a pill that
could actually stimulate the natural powers of the mind and body to
provide leadership? In the story, an amazing new pill heightens one
leader's powers, but contains the wrong ingredients, stimulating him in
an obsessive and shortsighted direction with disastrous results.
In contrast, the "Effective Leader," working without a pill, proclaims
that "only through sustainability can our teams remain motivated and
successful." An inspiring and supportive leader, he supplies the right
ingredients, earning his team's respect and trust with a blend of
integrity, partnership, and affirmation. The hard-won result is a
highly motivated team producing consistent top performance and genuine
success. Ultimately it is recognized that "leadership for a lifetime"
is much easier to digest than a pill for leaders looking for a quick
fix.
Destined to be a transforming experience for countless listeners, The
Leadership Pill shows business managers at any level how to apply the
right techniques for getting both results and and the commitment of
their people, even when the pressure to perform is high.
