2.Touchpoints: Creating Powerful Leadership Connections in the Smallest of Moments (J-B Warren Bennis Series Book 169)

by Douglas Conant & Norgaard

Opportunities abound every minute of every day for leaders to make connections.

Touch Points has been described as an effective and enduring way to lead. Something new. Something fresh. Most people consider interruptions as being troublesome. However, Conant and Norgaard say that these interruptions could be viewed as opportunities to connect. To create meaning. To increase their impact. For leaders to promote their organisation’s strategy, their vision, their values. These authors show: “that a leader’s impact and legacy are built through hundreds, even thousands, of interactive moments in time.” 
Fortunately, they say that anyone can develop “Touch Point” mastery by focusing on three essential components: head, heart, and hands.

The authors look at both the theory and practice of leadership from an holistic approach. They talk about leadership

mastery. They say that impactful leadership mastery is an on-going process whereby a leader can transform even the most ordinary of moments, the aimless activity of individuals or the entropy of an organisation into increased, focused energy. In essence Touch Points is about increasing the vibration of an organisation, and its people, into something new and vibrant, one moment at a time.

5.Managing with a Conscience: How to Improve Performance Through Integrity, Trust, and Commitment (2nd edition)

by Frank Sonnenberg

“Managing with a Conscience was written to help reanimate the values that count and to demonstrate how to improve performance through integrity, trust, and commitment.”

History has revealed that paths to success were often marred by unscrupulous behaviour, and a dog-eat-dog approach. Unfortunately, this ethic overflowed into the corporate sector where leaders allowed their assets to deteriorate by exploiting customers, mistreating employees, and squeezing suppliers. Leaders were focused on short term gain. However, what they overlooked, was the company’s long-term performance. This obsession with short-term results significantly damaged their company’s competitiveness. In today’s turbulent world it is more critical than ever to put an end to these short-sighted tactics. Especially when leaders are beholden to a board and the shareholders and must justify their performance and effectiveness regularly.

The approach in this book: Managing with a Conscience, helps restore traditional values. It presents a better option for improving long-term success, and injecting trust and integrity into all business practices and relationships. In this version of Managing with a Conscience, there are nine factors critical to success which have been defined.

The foundation for these principles of instigating traditional values is that the organisation needs to be built on passion. The book outlines how to focus on major priorities.  The business needs to reinvent itself every day. To devote itself to service excellence.  The organisation needs to adapt well to change. It needs to be able to make speedy responses, whilst at the same time maintaining a flexible structure.  In essence, amongst other things, it puts integrity back where it belongs, right beside the bottom line.

Creative individuals face stubborn resistance to new ideas in many organisations. Creativity can be scary for managers and executives, who are not that way inclined, and they oftentimes reject innovation and unconventional approaches. Why? Because they often have a misplaced allegiance to the status quo. People, in general, do not like change, especially if questioning established practices, or challenging prevailing sentiments. This questioning is frequently met with stiff resistance. A hint of change can be personally disruptive, often engendering fear within individuals. Therefore, creativity is stifled and there exists inflexible adherence to conventional wisdom. In this book, Unlocking Creativity, Roberto offers effective methods and real-world examples of how the most successful organizations create cultures of innovation and experimentation.

17.Leadership Vertigo: Why Even The Best Leaders Go Off Course and How They Can Get back on Track

by Tanveer Naseer

This book is based on the observation that shows employee engagement and morale levels are plateauing on the low end of the scale, even though there is a proliferation of resources available to leaders on what, why and how to implement “good” leadership strategies.

Why is this? Why are leaders unable to move the focus and create the kind of working conditions that not only allow employees to succeed, but thrive under our leadership?  Leadership vertigo is about the mismatch between how a leader perceives what they do and how others perceive what they are experiencing. Quite often this gap exists between what a leader wants from their leadership and how they go about that, and what staff are actually experiencing. Is this a case of a misplaced sense of ego? Sometimes our brains send us signals that are false. We may think everything is okay when it is not. Why would that be? Naseer defines this as

leadership vertigo and attempts to uncover the issues behind this dilemma. Perhaps this is a lofty perception of self versus operation and effectiveness in the real world. 

Leadership Vertigo: Why Even the Best Leaders Go Off Course and How They Can Get Back On Track will help you understand how you can counter these bouts of self-deception by employing four Leadership Landmarks. Naseer concentrates on these four values: community, competence, credibility, and compassion, to help get your team back on course. Tanveer Naseer is an internationally-acclaimed keynote speaker and award-winning leadership writer.

20.Your Body is Your Brain: Leverage Your Somatic Intelligence to Find Purpose, Build Resilience, Deepen Relationships and Lead More Powerfully

by Amanda Blake

“Tap the intelligence hidden in posture, gesture, and sensation and you will open the door to more meaning, greater courage, deeper connection, and more powerful leadership than you imagined possible.”

Your Body is Your Brain is a hive of research and experiential learnings and observations of how stress has affected what we do, how we think and how we hold ourselves. We protect our body from the effects of a stressor trigger with armouring which builds up walls, affects how we breathe, how we hold ourselves, how we walk and talk. When we can release this “armouring” then we can tap into those abilities that have been cut off from access. When you learn how to change your physiological response to stress then you will gain many skills including: becoming more relaxed, more confident, be more positive, have more purpose and meaning, create better relationships, and be less confrontational and be able to deal with conflict more easily and calmly.  

 Amanda says that you can strengthen your social and emotional intelligence by cultivating your innate somatic intelligence. She utilises this information of powerful applied mind-body science, primarily in the workplace.
