Synopsis

TURN EVEN THE MOST STRESSFUL SITUATION INTO AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHINE FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM

People aren't born to be high-performing leaders; instead, they need to learn to develop the time-proven characteristics of great leadership. Leadership When the Heat's On shows you how to acquire these characteristics, motivate your people, and achieve remarkable results across your organization-particularly during times of change and stress.

This quick-hitting, hands-on rulebook is chock-full of hard-won advice and action steps for keeping your cool under pressure and inspiring incredible performance from your team. You'll see how to:

• Start turning problems into opportunities that can enhance your career
• Practice “humanagement”-using the job to develop the person while having fun in the process
• Overcome your team's roadblocks to goal achievement
• Develop an organization with free-flowing, two-way communication, from top-to-bottom
• Know the signs of low morale, take immediate action to counteract the causes, and make strategic plans to keep spirits from falling again
• Encourage inspired thinking by relaxing old rules of conformity and publicly recognizing new ideas

Leadership When the Heat's On prepares you to meet all leadership challenges, whether anticipated or unexpected.
