About the Book
We don’t just lead others, we lead ourselves’ Increasingly, having a ‘philosophy’ –in a sense of knowing your strengths and understanding you life is a project – is regarded as a major plus point by organizations, employers and team managers. With this in mind, The Philosophical Leader’s aim is twofold: to obtain a deeper sense of our purpose by getting a philosophical grasp of the world; and to use this understanding to live a better life and become more effective leaders. Using the ‘Project-to-Live’ model for success, this interactive text asks us questions about our day-to-day references, our self-awareness, and how we compute aptitudes and weaknesses in ourselves and others. Personality-type indicators are linked with team appraisals, discussion topics and a personal ‘journal’ to help you become the leader of today and tomorrow. With its useful glossary of terms and reading list, the life enhancing book is a musthave for leaders and professionals everywhere.
