There is only one asset that offers guaranteed differentiation: leadership. Leadership is a deliberate act. It requires effort but yields enormous payback.</p> <p>According to professor Shalom Saada Saar and coauthor Michael J. Hargrove -- internationally recognized leadership development consultants and executive coaches--leadership can be learned and sustained through deliberation and practice. The leadership principles in this book are based on the authors' thirty years of experience working closely with executives and managers. They have conducted hundreds of coaching sessions, administered scores of 360? feedback assessments, interviewed teams, and examined dozens of leadership models. <i>Leading with Conviction</i> is a result of that research and outlines nine pillars or core competencies that define exceptional leadership: Self-Awareness, Balance, Agility, Leading Change, Resolving Conflict, Creativity, Coaching, Collaboration, and Achieving Results. By adopting the nine pillars, leaders will build core competencies, address weaknesses, and improve their ability to lead with passion and conviction.</p> <p>The more reliant we become on technology to manage mundane tasks, the more important it becomes to have leaders that embody these nine pillars and who are committed to inspiring people and steering the business. <i>Leading with Conviction</i> offers a wealth of advice to help leaders at all levels establish a compelling vision, motivate their workforce, manage change and conflict, and create benchmarks that lead to sustainable success.</p> <p><i>Leading with Conviction</i> is filled with sage advice and engaging and illustrative examples, as well as multiple mini-assessments. It presents a programmatic approach to engage and grow leaders at every level and in any type of organization.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>SHALOM SAADA SAAR</b> is cofounder of the Center for Leadership Development.
