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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Direction:  High-performing leaders describe a compelling,      intrinsically good destination and help others understand that getting      there will be worth the effort. \u003cbr\u003e- 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. \u003cbr\u003e- Influence:  The ability to motivate, persuade, challenge, and      change the minds of others.\u003cbr\u003e- Relationships:  People matter to outstanding leaders. They can      build commitment and trust among the people they work with.\u003cbr\u003e- Execution: Excellent leaders are obsessed with getting work done      and how work gets done.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41608850866273,"sku":"9781399820257","price":16.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28059563.jpg?v=1722281401","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781399820257-the-five-talents-that-really-matter","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
