Conchie quien formaba parte de Gallup Global Leadership Research y coautor de Strengths-Based Leadership desvela el misterio y la complejidad de los líderes de alto rendimiento a través de investigaciones originales y entrevistas con líderes globales exitosos. Este libro desafía mitos comunes sobre el liderazgo, como la idea de que cualquiera puede ser líder con suficiente esfuerzo. The Five Talents That Really Matter expone las características clave que realmente definen a los líderes de alto rendimiento. Los cinco talentos basados en evidencia son: - Establecer dirección: los líderes guían a sus organizaciones en situaciones complejas y comunican claramente el valor para motivar a los empleados. - Generar energía: lideran con un fuerte sentido de ética laboral, miden el progreso y brindan apoyo a los empleados más talentosos. - Aumentar la conectividad: priorizan a las personas y establecen una relación efectiva mediante un comportamiento ético y genuino cuidado por los demás. Con investigación rigurosa, Conchie y Dalton han desarrollado un modelo científico que explica los talentos y comportamientos de los líderes más exitosos. /// A former Gallup Global Leadership Research and Development leader and the New York Times bestselling coauthor of Strengths-Based Leadership demystifies the aura and complexity surrounding high performing leaders through original research and interviews with high-performing global leaders.
