What makes a great leader? It's a question that has been tackled by thousands. In fact, there are literally tens of thousands of leadership studies, theories, frameworks, models, and recommended best practices. But where are the clear, simple answers we need for our daily work lives? Are there any? Dave Ulrich, Norm Smallwood, and Kate Sweetman set out to answer these questions—to crack the code of leadership. Drawing on decades of research experience, the authors conducted extensive interviews with a variety of respected CEOs, academics, experienced executives, and seasoned consultants—and heard the same five essentials repeated again and again. These five rules became The Leadership Code. In The Leadership Code, the authors break down great leadership into day-to-day actions, so that you know what to do Monday morning. Crack the leadership code—and take your leadership to the next level.

Five Rules to Lead by

The Leadership Code

Fem regler for god ledelse De fremragende ledere følger fem regler! Ledere, som inspirerer, optænder og engagerer os, gør en forskel i vores hverdag. Og vi kan alle genkende en god leder, når vi møder en! Med Lederskabskoden i hånden kan enhver leder nu lære de fem grundlæggende regler, som alle de fremragende ledere styrer efter. Lederskabskoden gennemgår og uddyber de fem regler for god ledelse: 1. Form fremtiden 2. Få tingene til at ske 3. Engager nutidens talentmasse 4. Opbyg den næste generation 5. Invester i dig selv De fem regler er lette er opliste – og straks sværere at efterleve umiddelbart. For nogle ledere vil reglerne falde naturligt, mens der er andre, der først må lære dem at kende. Til gengæld får man med bogen håndfaste og uddybede anvisninger til, hvordan man efterlever reglerne. Kodens fem regler kommer hele spektret rundt: strategi, implementering, talentudvikling, udvikling af menneskelige muligheder og lederens egen personligt udvikling. De fem regler skal derudover aktiveres, og det hjælper bogen også med! Bag de fem regler ligger et meget stort antal interviews, som forfatterne har foretaget. De har interviewet en lang række anerkendte topledere og ledelseseksperter for at uddrage essensen af god ledelse. Derved har de fundet frem til, at lederskabskoden repræsenterer 60-70% af det, der gør en leder fremragende. At beherske lederskabskoden er en forudsætning, at man er i stand til at opbygge effektivt lederskab!
