Wise Leadership
This insightful book offers an opportunity for people from all
walks of life to learn more about the concept of leadership
and to gain an understanding of what it really means to be a
wise leader in today's complex and challenging world. Anyone
who is interested in making significant changes in the world,
or simply abetting progress in either large or small ways, will
appreciate this important book.
Wise Leadership breaks from the formulas offered up in traditional
self-help or management and leadership books. Rather than providing
a set of quick-fix recipes for success, McLyman invites leaders
instead to listen to the simple, poignant words she has garnered
from working alongside some of her most successful and powerful
clients during twenty-plus years of management consulting. These
are the leaders everyone wants to have in their organizations.
In a simple, practical, and insightful style, McLyman invites
her readers to grasp the values, beliefs, and truths that are
commonly held by many of today's wisest leaders. Discover what
it really means to work not just as a smart and intelligent
leader, but also as a very wise leader. The path to intelligence,
we discover, is not necessarily the same path to wisdom.
McLyman encourages us to listen to the thoughts and feelings
behind the simple words. As we eavesdrop on conversations with
clients, we are invited to ponder our own meaning of wise leadership.
There are no quick solutions, no simple answers; instead, McLyman
declares, we must learn to think for ourselves. |

but more importantly, the lives of all those you touch
both in the workplace and on the outside.” |
