In It’s Not Magic: The Ordinary Skills of Exceptional Leaders, author, chartered psychologist, and Professor of Leadership at the University of Exeter Business School, John Amaechi, delivers an impactful discussion on the dull, ordinary, energy-expensive, and transformative behaviours that define the world’s best leaders.
The book walks you through the seemingly obvious but difficult-to-nail mindsets and intentions you’ll need to adopt to influence and motivate others. You’ll learn strategies and techniques you can apply immediately to help those who follow you flourish and maximise their potential.
Inside the book:
- Easy-to-follow explanations of the straightforward behaviours you can model to improve your ability to lead others.
- Habits you can adopt immediately to motivate others in any setting, from the boardroom to the classroom or the battlefield.
- Data-driven insights into the tiny, little things that great leaders do every day and how to incorporate them into your emotional and behavioural repertoire.
An essential read for managers, executives, board members, and other business leaders, It’s Not Magic will also prove invaluable to entrepreneurs, founders, teachers, military leaders, academics, and anyone else expected to motivate and inspire others to achieve great things.
