Why Great Leaders Ask Great Questions (häftad, eng)

Aspiring leaders are hungry to learn all that they can about how to be a more effective leader. And certainly there are tools and best practices young leaders should know and add to their toolkit.

But-as Steve Mostyn, one of the world's leading innovators in executive leadership, has learned over the past decades of teaching this cohort-two equally useful activities for the aspiring leader are reflection and experimentation.

In his new book WHY GREAT LEADERS ASK GREAT QUESTIONS, Mostyn has crafted an elegant collection of the seven provocative questions aspiring leaders should ask themselves in order to spur that reflection and experimentation. These are some of the most important questions Mostyn poses to each cohort of the Oxford Executive Leadership program's students, honed by the past answers and engagement of thousands of students.

The book is simple in conception, profound in execution. In seven accessible chapters, with exercises, research, and examples, the reader will engage with these questions:
How do I reflect?
How do I spend my time?
Where does my power come from?
How does change happen around me?
How do I develop my network?
How do I explore the future?
How do I grow more leaders?

Based the Oxford Executive Leadership Programme, an accelerated international leadership development program with over 5,000 alumni around the world, the questions are well-tested with aspiring and practicing leaders and are proven to spark both reflection and growth.

These seven questions are drawn from the author's deep experience with the needs of rising young executives. Readers will engage with provocative exercises, highly accessible overviews of applicable research, and examples from fellow mid-career executives.
