Features: "Quiet Leadership" reveals some seemingly simple yet fundamentally profound scientific truths. This book will completely change the way you view leaders and yourself. In this thought-provoking yet highly practical book, Badaracco helps us understand that true leadership is not grand or heroic. The true art of leadership unfolds in the small steps taken by frontline managers, guided by human nature and common sense. Organizations and societies that cultivate quiet leaders will inevitably triumph over those that only leave space for assertive, loud voices. The stories of the leaders told in this book demonstrate to us how seemingly ordinary decisions are anything but ordinary. Conversely, ordinary decisions are often driven by complex motivations, navigating rugged political terrain, and require careful caution and meticulous thinking to achieve long-term success.
