True leaders are those who view leadership not as a benefit to themselves, but as an obligation to others. To overcome the leadership gap that exists in so many of today's organizations, acclaimed leadership guru John Mattone identifies the key qualities that, combined, make up the mindset of great leadership. The Intelligent Leader shows how anyone who decides that they want to become an example for others can develop the skills to become exceptional leaders. This book offers an accessible guide for discovering how to embody the qualities, characteristics, and capacities of great leadership. Firmly grounded in the author's research as an industrial psychologist and the world's top-ranked executive coach, The Intelligent Leader describes an approach to leadership anyone can adopt to become a truly great leader and human being. The author explores the mysterious and often elusive qualities of great leadership and offers a practical roadmap for improving these qualities in your own mind, heart, and soul. The Intelligent Leadership process has proven to drive real, measurable results. Throughout the book, Mattone shows how to get (and stay) in touch with your inner core, which is the source of your capacity to become a better example to others. Once you hone this ability, you will become adept at accessing your inner core, changing it, and using it to guide and shape your actions in your organization and the wider world. The book is filled with illustrative, real-world examples (from famous and not-so-famous leaders), proven tools, and practical assessments that explore each of Mattone's seven dimensions of Intelligent Leadership. Step-by-step, you will discover what it takes to: think differently and think big; develop a mindset of duty vs. a mentality of entitlement; leverage your gifts and address your gaps; and have the courage to execute leadership skills with pride, passion, and precision.
