Recommendation

Leadership scholar and business expert Jorge Cuervo offers a complete package of ideas on how to engage and motivate teams to achieve maximum productivity. He explains why the brain’s antiquated survival mechanisms, like the flight or fight response, and the business world’s old management methods, like command and control, don’t work for today’s leaders or their followers. Cuervo first presented his concepts in Spanish, under the title Mejor liderar que mandar; now English-language readers can benefit from this intriguing translation. Cuervo packs a lot of information into his brief treatise. getAbstract recommends his insightful and practical manual to leaders and those who aspire to lead.

Take-Aways

  • Modern leaders need new approaches and advanced techniques based on creativity, flexibility and openness.
  • Leadership is relational and contextual; it depends on the people, place and circumstances involved.
  • Bosses demand power, but authority accrues to leaders.
