Overview
Why do so many business books feel useless the moment they come in contact with your day job?
In Leadership Wise, Chief Product Officer at Podium, John Foreman, delivers a different and refreshingly practical take on business leadership. The author moves beyond what a leader should look like, to discuss how you can make better decisions over time to help your organization accomplish its goals. Regardless of a listener's personality and background, John provides practical advice for how anyone can become a great leader just as they are by making more effective decisions over and over again. It's not about becoming a 5-star general or a mythical titan of industry, it's about making better decisions more often. In the book you'll find: a structure for understanding and becoming comfortable with the unending contradictions of leading in business; strategies for defining priorities, sourcing options, and choosing the best decision; and advice for channeling your emotions and company culture to more effectively solve problems.
An engaging and hands-on exploration of how to lead real people in real companies by making the best decisions possible with the information you have, Leadership Wise belongs on the desks of managers, executives, directors, entrepreneurs, and founders everywhere.
