The leadership space is rife with myths, such as the belief that anyone can be a leader with enough effort or that a leader's strengths can be their greatest weaknesses. According to Barry Conchie and his business partner Sarah Dalton, these statements are unfounded. THE FIVE TALENTS THAT REALLY MATTER explains how high-performing leaders are talented in five essential ways.     This book strips away the fluff in leadership and unveils and describes the traits and characteristics that actually determine high-performance leadership. These talents provide a template against which career-driven managers and leaders can assess and develop their own capabilities. The five evidence-based talent dimensions are:     - Direction:  High-performing leaders describe a compelling,      intrinsically good destination and help others understand that getting      there will be worth the effort.   - Drive:  This dimension hardly needs a description. We all know      it when we see it: strong work ethic, tenacity, goal-orientation... being a      self-starter.   - Influence:  The ability to motivate, persuade, challenge, and      change the minds of others.  - Relationships:  People matter to outstanding leaders. They can      build commitment and trust among the people they work with.  - Execution: Excellent leaders are obsessed with getting work done      and how work gets done.     Through meticulous research, assessment, and testing, Conchie and Dalton have built a database that predicts the talents and behaviours of the most successful leaders.  In this book they present for the first the first time a scientific model that demystifies the aura and complexity surrounding high performing leaders.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48507086241946,"sku":"9781399820257","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/1625\/7690\/files\/9781399820257-us-300.jpg?v=1782353994","url":"https:\/\/castlebooks.com.au\/products\/9781399820257-the-five-talents-that-really-matter-how-great-leaders-drive-extraordinary-performance","provider":"Castlebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
