Alpha Leadership: Tools for Business Leaders Who Want More from Life Hardcover - 2002

From the rear cover

How can you be a successful leader, reduce stress and promote happiness at a time when most people are struggling to make sense of the workplace, the changing economy and a changing world?

This 'how to' book has arisen from the authors' extensive experience of leadership development in the US and Europe. Their research shows that the successful leader excels in three separate but related dimensions:
* Anticipate: detecting and responding to 'weak signals' to 'get ahead of the curve'

* Align: achieving congruence in your own values and desires and those of others

* Act: making things happen
Tools and frameworks are provided so that the reader can apply what they have read to their own business situation.

Each chapter is self-sufficient, with its own set of principles illustrated by stories and anecdotes, and its own set of tools designed to help you implement the principles.
