Leadership Culture - Mala Thapar - Bog

Leadership culture is like a multi-layered quilt spun with strands of human DNA, conditioning and habits. And this book deals with the differences, perspectives, priorities, human nature and cultures that are as variable as the cells in the human body. Many leaders, and prospective leaders, confuse personality with the job and think of their team as underlings to be dominated. This book differentiates between ''command culture'' and ''service culture'', ''inclusiveness and exclusiveness'', ego, and the spirit. Conflict between positional and relational leadership is highlighted with an emphasis on how to improve relationships. Leadership is not a popularity contest. Who is a leader? What makes or breaks a leader? What are the strengths and weaknesses? How do we build teams with trust and understanding? What does an effective leader look like and how can we cultivate one? This book answers these and many other questions.
