Leadership IQ

Meer over het boek

The key to IBM's turnaround was the selection and development of 'workleaders,' as defined by Emmett Murphy. Leadership IQ provides a modern leadership model essential for the twenty-first century. Unlike much anecdotal literature on leadership, this book offers scientific research and practical advice, making it a valuable resource for anyone aiming to succeed in today's work environment. Emmett Murphy's comprehensive program is based on a six-year empirical study involving 18,000 managers from 562 organizations worldwide. From this extensive research, over 1,000 exceptional leaders were identified, revealing the qualities that contribute to effective leadership. The findings have led to a dynamic leadership development program that has proven successful in prestigious organizations like IBM, GM, and McDonald's. Readers can assess their own leadership performance using the "Leadership IQ Test" included in the book, which provides insights into key areas of leadership. Additionally, the book offers easy-to-follow exercises to improve weaker areas, along with sample scripts and dialogues from successful leaders to help reshape thinking and behavior. This groundbreaking work provides an unparalleled opportunity to understand the essence of great leadership and how to cultivate it within oneself.
