Is it pedigree, experience, intelligence? The answer is yes...and much more. Exceptional leadership hinges on a complex interaction between individual psychology and unique business needs. At the top rung of the ladder, where the dynamics are most complicated, subtle adjustments in style can produce outstanding results.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn his new book, \u003ci\u003eThe Intangibles of Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e, Management Psychologist Richard Davis, Ph.D., uncovers patterns in the attributes that truly distinguish those who succeed at the top. What he found was that extraordinary leaders possess certain characteristics that fall between the lines of existing leadership models, yet are fundamental to executive success. Davis explains each of these qualities, the people who exemplify them, how to detect them in others, and most importantly, how to develop the subtle characteristics that will enable them to stand out from the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLearn why...\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt's often better to aim for silver than for gold\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlaying hard to get attracts people to you\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt's important to have a slightly inflated view of your abilities\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eYour peripheral vision is so important\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt's ok to get angry with your team\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSo many extraordinary executives have gone through crises early in their lives\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWHAT MAKES A GOOD LEADER GREAT?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBusinesses have been struggling for decades to identify and develop the qualities that make exceptional leaders.
