"If you've always believed that leaders are born - or that leadership is a matter of having the right personality or style - prepare for an entirely new perspective. "Like any phenomenon, leadership is governed by natural laws," contends Warren Blank. To discern those laws, he boldly appropriates the principles of quantum physics, a science that describes the larger patterns of life and makes sense of the universe in all its seeming chaos and unpredictability." "And so the connection emerges. By applying quantum principles to the contemporary business environment - another place where chaos seems to reign - Warren Blank codifies nine natural laws that hold true for all leaders. His new paradigm, called "quantum leadership," echoes the power of nature and rings truer than any other leadership model you have encountered." "Like all good journeys into vital matters, this one makes several fascinating stops and provokes unexpected flashes of recognition all along the way. Accounts of real companies and real people will teach you to recognize the conditions where leadership naturally occurs - and will help you analyze the dynamics that surround it. At each step, practical action ideas (more than 100 in all) motivate you to develop your potential and reach your pinnacle as a Quantum Leader."--Jacket. |
