Hard Wired Leadership
Unleashing the Power of Personality to Become a New Millennium Leader
Read offline
Recommendation
You can figure out who you are – and more important, who the people you lead are – if you have a little patience with Roger R. Pearman. The author carefully applies the Myers-Briggs personality type system to explain leadership styles. He asserts that if you understand how people behave, one personality type at a time, you can lead them more effectively. You can use this system to understand how your employees (and you) think, and to spot strengths and weaknesses. Pearman’s examples, lists and charts show how to identify different personality types and how to apply this understanding in different situations. getAbstract recommends this excellent book as particularly helpful to those who are familiar with the Myers-Briggs system and to those who like taking an analytical approach to human behavior. (If you are less analytical, don’t get testy while trying to sort out the 16 personality types; the trip is worthwhile.)
