      Influence and Lead ! Fundamentals for Personal and Professional Growth - Michael Nir

      Overview

      The exciting portfolio of field tested ideas within this practical book is proven. It will enable you to better manage and lead yourself and your team. These ideas are also relevant outside business, and provide the magic for growth in families, with friends and in any social interaction

      What will you find in this book?

      The direction of flow in this book is inward. Starting from virtual and collocated team related concepts of leadership and influence — moving gradually towards personal influence, motivation and empowerment.

      Are you looking for the personal aspects of leadership, motivation and influence? You can skip to chapters 4 to 7.

      Breakthrough personal-growth exercises and personal development are presented in chapters 6 and 7.

      Specifically: we start from theoretical team leading foundations — in the first chapter we learn that global virtual high performance teams revolve around three concepts: 1) relationships, 2) accountability and 3) networking. As you read the first chapter, reflect on how much of these three elements are existing within the teams you operate.

      The second chapter moves to discuss the traits that the Team Leader needs to develop and display in order to build a high performance team.

      The third chapter introduces the Tuchman Jensen team development Five stage model. Additionally, the model includes specific practical insights drawing on many years of team leading experience.

      Reading the fourth chapter we learn about leadership without authority and informal power. The required steps of analyzing, communicating and building a supporting coalition are illustrated.

      The fifth chapter is all about NLP words of power for personal effectiveness in leading and motivating.

      The sixth chapter is a real Bonanza for you! It presents powerful exercises which you can perform yourself. I find that reading without exercising is like eating chocolate fudge Sunday ice-cream without any chocolate in; you have the general idea of the taste but you miss out on the experience. In personal growth books, taking the time to carry out the exercises is really important.

      We conclude with a powerful tool which I have decided to add at the last minute! I decided to give you a sneak preview into the self-help book: Marketing the Impossible Personal and Professional Five Steps Success Model. Thus in the seventh chapter we learn how to liberate ourselves from the self-limiting stories of who we are. This is another NLP concept that has deep roots in Gestalt therapy. I am a true believer of Gestalt Therapy, hence its concepts are appearing within the context of this and other of my books as a guiding thread.

      I truly hope you like this book!

      Read on and enjoy!
