About the Summary
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a guide – it’s a call to lead with heart and intention.
The same ideas shared in modern leadership books are found in the writings of philosophers, famous religious figures, and prophets throughout history. Tied to key models in research-based psychology, the principles presented in this book are timeless, but will give you a fresh perspective on setting goals, executing them, leading and reading people, and managing your stress. Witty, conversational, and personal, The Psychology of Leadership blends research, humor, and self-improvement advice to deliver simple yet powerful guidance on mastering the mental game of leadership.
In this Executive Book Summary®:
- Discover the connection between research on happiness and goal setting.
- Define accomplishment and success in a nontraditional way.
- Leverage control theory to execute goals, personally and at the organizational level.
- Apply the Big Five Personality Traits model to reading and leading people.
