Leadership Wise: Why Business Books Suck, but Wise Leaders Succeed eschews the one-size-fits-all approach of most business books and instead explores the single most important thing every successful leader needs to have: contextual awareness. Taking inspiration from the ancient Eastern tradition of "wisdom literature," Leadership Wise aims to help leaders leverage ways of thinking that will empower them to ultimately choose the best option amongst competing good ones according to the unique context of their businesses. Through focusing on the key behaviors and techniques essential to practicing contextually aware leadership and options-based decision making, this book will teach readers how to: Rationally generate and consider options in light of what's most important Eliminate biases and be authentic in considering options Communicate and execute the best options in a speedy and iterative manner to maximize chances of success A clear roadmap that can be followed in any type of business, Leadership Wise dispels the notion that it takes a certain "type of person" who needs to know a "certain set of rules" to be an effective leader. By privileging wisdom over knowledge, this book draws on ancient truths to demonstrate how a good leader is anyone who can move forward based on context, make the best choice out of many choices, and thereby achieve success in today's continually evolving workplace environment.
