Книга "What Do Leaders Really Do? Getting under the skin of what makes a great leader tick" посвящена исследованию практической реальности лидерства и управления, основываясь на лучших теориях менеджмента. Авторы исследуют, как лидеры проводят свое время, действительно ли они заняты стратегией, вдохновляют людей и создают видение. Книга вызывает сомнения в том, что лидеры рождаются, а не становятся таковыми, и исследует теорию о том, что женские лидеры фундаментально отличаются от мужских. Авторы изучают обыденную жизнь известных лидеров в различных областях: бизнесе, спорте и вооруженных силах, чтобы выявить элементы, которые побуждают людей следовать за ними. Книга не посвящена теории менеджмента, а является доступным и понятным руководством к применению этих теорий на практике. В ней выделяются ключевые навыки и поведение, которые проявляют эффективные лидеры. "What Do Leaders Really Do?" является освежающей альтернативой сотням академических книг о лидерстве, доступной, прямолинейной и иногда юмористической, богатой личными свидетельствами и анекдотами. Эта книга деконструирует популярные теории лидерства до понятных основ, с учетом практических ситуаций реального лидерства. В конце концов, какая польза от теории, если она не работает на практике?
What Do Leaders Really Do?, by Jeff Grout, takes a deep look at how best to understand what makes for a great leader, looking at what theories our society's most successful leaders adhere to and trying to put them into practice. This isn't a simplistic "rules for the successful leader" book., it's an exploration of whether it is only through luck that terrible leaders get away with being terrible, or whether theory can (and applying it) can result in better leaders overall.

Описание книги от Jeff Grout
An enormous range of literature on leadership and management theory has been produced over the years, some of it highly academic and much of it contradictory. What Do Leaders Really Do? takes the basis of the best-known management theories to see how they fit with the practical reality of leadership. How do leaders spend their time? Are they really preoccupied with strategy, vision and inspiring people? Do they lead by accident, or design? The book challenges the assumption that leaders are born, not made and explores the theory that female leaders are fundamentally different from their male counterparts. What Do Leaders Really Do? Looks into the everyday working lives of well-known leaders in a variety of fields – business, sport and the armed forces – in order to identify the elements that encourage people to follow where they lead. Drawing on the experiences of a wide range of leaders with varying backgrounds and roles, as well as a range of respected academics and management writers, this book will closely analyze the background, experiences and behavior of a diverse set of leaders. A central part of the analysis will be a detailed examination of what these leaders do on a day-to-day basis. It is not a book about management theory but an accessible, no-nonsense guide to those theories and how they translate to real life. Many people lead effectively without knowing how they do it; this book will isolate and identify the core skills and behavior displayed by effective leaders. What Do Leaders Really Do? is intended to be a refreshing alternative to the hundreds of academically-oriented leadership books that are available. The tone will be straight-forward, accessible and sometimes humorous, rich with first-person evidence and anecdotes. It will dissect popular leadership theory into the easily understandable basics, with reference to the practicalities of real-life leadership situations. After all, what good is theory if it doesn't work in practice?
