Principle-Centered Leadership
Simon & Schuster, 1990
Was ist drin?
Stephen R. Covey teaches you how to fish in the corporate pond.
Recommendation
Stephen R. Covey shows how you can become a principle-centered leader, and how you can use principle-centered leadership philosophies to more effectively manage people. Principle-centered power is created when the values of the follower and leader overlap. Control is apparent, but it is not external; it is self-control. It elicits a willingness to risk doing the right things because they are valued and modelled by the leader. People follow the leader because of who he or she is. This book is full of lists, charts, diagrams and anecdotal examples to help the reader fully comprehend the ideas contained within. The cover of the book has the famous quote, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." This quote encapsulates the intentions of the book. Covey wants to teach you how to fish. And he wants you to know it’s not as simple as picking a lure and casting. Good fishermen learn through years of applying their skills. Managers become good managers through years of applying principle-centered leadership. getAbstract recommends the book to managers and executives at all levels.
