Recommendation

This isn’t just another book about how to become a better manager; it’s about how to use language to become an “inspirational leader” who can bring about transformation and lasting change. Stephen Denning explains that transformational leadership is not the sole providence of an extraordinary few. Anyone with enough vision, commitment and grit to master a basic set of skills that he calls the “language of transformational leadership” can become a leader who creates change. Denning turns away from aloof reasoning and dusty information, and advocates being provocative and inspirational instead. His only lapse is a love of repetition. getAbstract believes that leaders who want to master persuasive advocacy will enjoy this in-depth guide.

Take-Aways

  • Anyone can learn the “language of leadership,” not just a few special, charismatic people.
  • Many leaders make the same 10 common leadership mistakes that Al Gore made in his presidential campaign, such as using incongruent body language.
  • Leaders who use the traditional communication model state a problem, analyze it and offer a solution.
