The Leadership Attitude - Inspiring Success Through Authenticity and Passion

Whether in the office or working from home, the work environment is hectic and chaotic―it's perhaps even more so now that we're decentralized. Without being face-to-face, without sharing the same space, we're desensitizing ourselves to the meaning of humanity. That's even more crucial for organizations operating across global borders, and it takes a real understanding of how informal leadership and influencing actually work.
In The Leadership Attitude: Inspiring Success through Authenticity and Passion, Deborah E. McGee shares her experiences before and after starting her company, PZI, and gives insights into how others can grow their own informal leaders, enhance their influence style, acknowledge their faith in the workplace, and find success.
By building an organization that helps companies better understand informal leadership and influence, and putting the "human" back into their global operations, she has found more success than she ever experienced in the corporate world. And it's come from slowing down, opening up, understanding how influence can work. By taking a time-out and then letting her faith drive, she has been able to make amazing connections with other people of faith, discovered the power of growing informal leaders, and changed her own influence and leadership style to one that lets others take the lead.
