One Piece Short of a Jigsaw? (Paperback)

The Leadership Jigsaw[trademark] is a powerful analytical device for measuring an individual's abilities as a leader. Devised by Alan Cutler and extensively promoted by his organisation, this is a fascinating and effective way to develop leadership skills and practice. The book looks at the six critical elements of leadership and examines each in turn, offering self-assessment exercises to test these leadership qualities against the six principles. It also studies some notable, real-life leaders who have failed in some way by not applying all the pieces of the jigsaw. The six elements that are described and analysed are: Example - a leader must set an example; Vision - a leader must be a visionary; Motivation - a leader understands what motivates each team member; Relationships - a leader builds supportive relationships; Empowerment - a leader empowers others to reach their potential; Communications - a leader understands the power of communication.
