Description of Event:
After all the competency models and psychometric tests, the leadership frameworks, and books aplenty, there is still a gap in our ability to predict who will be successful for which leadership role. There are two reasons for this: first, there is no single model for leadership that works across all businesses and organizations, but rather a spectrum of qualities that are successful in different areas. In other words, leadership is highly contextual. Second, the difference between good leaders and extraordinary ones is subtle. Although both often posses similar backgrounds and basic characteristics, extraordinary leaders exhibit nuances in their personality and behaviour. Those subtleties are otherwise known as the intangibles of leadership. In his work assessing and developing top leaders with RHR International, Dr. Richard Davis has identified ten such qualities that distinctive leaders possess. Drawing from his new book, The Intangibles of Leadership (Wiley/Jossey-Bass, 2010), Davis will explain each of these qualities, the people who exemplify them, and how to detect them in others. More than this, attendees will learn how to develop the subtle characteristics that will enable them to stand out from the pack. Learn why...     Its often better to aim for silver than for gold     Emotional bandwidth is critical     Playing hard to get attracts people to you     Your peripheral vision is so important     Its important to have a slightly inflated view of your abilities     So many extraordinary executives have gone through crises early in their lives

Praise for The Intangibles of Leadership includes: “In distilling the essence of leadership Richard successfully argues that there is a spectrum of qualities that contribute to great leadership.  A must read for all aspiring and existing leaders whatever your field.” -Neville Roberts, Chief Information Officer, Best Buy "In his book, Richard Davis has really nailed down in a practical yet very thoughtful way what really distinguishes great leaders, how to identify them and even more importantly how to develop more of them. This book really brings a tangible dimension to the intangibles of Leadership." -Stephane Charbonnier, Global Head of Talent Management, Towers Watson “This is the most thoughtful book on leadership I have read.  Instead of handing out the usual one-size-fits-all approach, Davis realizes that different situations require different kinds of leaders. Insightful, practical and readable, it is the best book on leadership available.” – Ford Harding, President, Harding & Company, and author of Creating Rainmakers.
