Features: Some managers overemphasize goal orientation while neglecting people, while others are too open to those who interact, losing their own goals. This book teaches you how to balance goals and employee feelings to maximize leadership effectiveness. For managers or those preparing to become managers: This book trains you for half of the time, infusing goal orientation into a workday. Focusing on goals leads to success, but without the "empathy" skill to balance it, it may lead to adverse consequences. After reading this book, you will gain a broader and deeper understanding of how to communicate with a work team. After showing your care, you will find that team members are more willing to listen to you. To achieve grand goals, shifting hierarchical thinking requires balancing focus on goals and caring for others. This is a leadership talent. When you convey values to those around you—your team, organization, customers—you become a conduit, bringing benefits to everyone, and you are the winner in the process.
