Second Edition of Acclaimed Book Helps Readers Reach their True Potential While Avoiding the Pitfalls that Arise During Any Career
It's a sad fact that a gap usually exists between people's potential performance and their actual performance. It's also true that this gap is often why some people are passed over for promotions or even fired while others rise above their peers.
Happily, the causes of executive failure can be successfully addressed, and that is the goal of the newly released second edition of Terence F. Moore's slim and powerful book titled Lessons in Leadership and Career Survival.
Reflecting insights gained from Moore's 36 years in health care, 31 as a CEO, this straightforward, easy-to-read book contains 31 chapters on topics pertaining to leadership and career survival. Among the topics included in Lessons in Leadership and Career Survival are:
- The etiquette of giving and receiving employee recognition
- The appropriate use of power
- The impact of writing thank-you notes
- The importance of emotional intelligence
- The psychology of great leaders
- What to do when you have a new boss
- Optimizing board-CEO relationships
- What to do between job searches
- The military way to win in business
Moore comments, "It is my hope that this book will reduce the possibility of a manager or employee experiencing job loss or not maximizing their potential because of tactical and/or strategic errors."
