With more than 64,000 books on leadership on amazon.com, Leadership is a very important topic these days for professionals, executives, and business managers… Important, but also the sheer size of the literature means that there is a lot of waste and repetition. “Lead !” is an application that contains executive summaries of some of the most important, most influential, and best-selling books related to leadership. “Lead !” contains book summaries that were selected to help you gain an insight into the different areas of leadership, including the emotional, social, and intellectual fields, Strategy, Decision Making, Innovation, and more… You will gain a wide knowledge and a bird-eye view. Some of the book summaries in “Lead !” : - The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness - The New Leaders: Transforming the art of leadership to the Science of Results - Emotional Intelligence - How to Win Friends and Influence People - The Speed of Trust - The Art of Decision Making - The Art of War - Blue Ocean Strategy - Innovation and Entrepreneurship You can unlock the whole module (at a discounted price), or select the leadership books that you feel are most suitable to you, and finish them one-by-one at your own pace. Reading one book summary a day is a relatively easy task. This will give you - in less than two weeks – good knowledge of the key concepts in these books, and help you build and improve your leadership skills, organizational skills, emotional intelligence, strategic understanding, and more… Lead will hopefully be a building block in your efforts to achieve Personal Success, Professional Success, and managerial excellence. We recommend going through another application by Think-Grow before starting ‘Lead !’. This app is ‘Succeed !’ and it will introduce some important concepts in the fields of personal development and personal growth, multiple intelligences (Emotional Intelligence, Social Intelligence, Verbal Intelligence), Effectiveness, and success planning. "Lead !" will help you take these skills to the next level. Note: Please note that the book summaries in this app are offered as an in-app purchase and are NOT for free. This app doesn't bombard you with unwanted advertising, so please accept our model of revenue since creating maintaining this content takes a lot of time and effort.
