Leadership today is becoming a collective pursuit - not a solo performance. As an effective top team, you can create tremendous, long-lasting value for your company. And yet, being in a leadership team is not easy: 80% of executives admit their leadership team is not as high performing as they know it could be.
In Unlock: Leveraging the Hidden Intelligence in Your Leadership Team, business coach, psychologist and team expert Rob Pyne explores the three types of intelligence your team needs to succeed, and how to build a leadership team that is smarter than the sum of its parts.
YOU'LL LEARN:
- How to build the foundations of a real team.
- How to surface the collective intelligence of your leaders.
- How to turn your ideas into real-world results.
WHO SHOULD READ THIS BOOK: You are a CEO, MD or Senior Leader. This book will help you create the conditions for your leadership team to succeed. It is also aimed at leadership team members, to help you understand and influence the dynamics in your leadership team.
