There are two types of leaders - Inspirers and Suppressors. Under the influence of the former, employees light up with enthusiasm, plunge into a state of flow and work with full dedication. They are not afraid of difficult tasks and mistakes, therefore they will always find understanding and support from their leader. Suppressive Leaders get their way through self-assertion, manipulation, and aggression. They build work on fear, coercion and unquestioning obedience. Such a scheme depletes the capabilities and intelligence of employees, excludes professional growth and kills the desire to do something for the good of the company. How to determine what kind of leader you are? How to become an Inspirer? How to change if you are a Suppressor? How to counter the Suppressor if you work under his command? After analyzing the experience of 150 famous contemporary leaders - including Steven Spielberg, Henry Kissinger, Lutz Ziob (Microsoft), Meg Whitman (eBay, Hewlett-Packard), John Hawke (Nike Inc.), - Liz Wiseman, an expert on leadership, gives exhaustive answers to these questions. The book contains a step-by-step strategy of Masterminds, real examples, tasks, tips and cases.
