520 _aDo you need to know: - how emotional intelligence impacts on effective leadership? - what attributes and skills ensure success as a business leader today? - when different leadership and management styles are needed to maximize team potential? -- - why performance and profitability can be adversely affected by stress, conflict, communications and an imbalance between life and work? To answer the how, what, when and why questions of effective leadership, the author of this groundbreaking book looked to the world of competitive sport. The BT Global Challenge Round the World Yacht Race provided a unique case study and an excellent parallel with today's business environment. The race was highly competitive, the environment hostile, at times dangerous, and conditions were uncertain. Faced with these pressures, and racing identical yachts, the winners were the skippers who led their teams most effectively to achieve and sustain high performance. Given unrivalled 'behind the scenes' access to the race, the author identify the key attributes and skill that make effective leaders stand out from the crowd and demonstrate how emotional intelligence can be developed to impact on performance. Combining new findings based on research carried out during the Round the World yacht race with existing theories of leadership, this book provides managers with an in-depth understanding of what makes a high performing leader.
