The Leader’s Secret Code
What makes a great leader? What beliefs, attitudes and behaviours are linked to being a top performing and influential leader, especially in these uncertain times? What impact does culture, industry and business context have? And does formal training and education make a difference?
This book is for any business manager or executive, or indeed anyone involved in leading a team in their company, who wants to learn the secrets of successful leadership. Based on interviews and analysis (qualitative and quantitative) with some of the world’s best performing leaders, across a mix of industries, cultures and contexts, the authors present a rigorous evaluation of how leaders behave and how they are driven. In doing so, they reveal the secret code behind consistent and high-level success in leadership and management.
The Salesperson’s Secret Code
What makes a great salesperson? What beliefs, attitudes and behaviours are linked to being a top performing salesperson? What impact does culture, industry and sales context have? And does a formal sales methodology or process make a difference? This book is for any sales professional, or indeed anyone involved in the sales process of their company, who wants to learn the secrets of successful selling. Based on interviews and analyses (qualitative and quantitative) of 1000 of the world’s leading salespeople, across a mix of industries, cultures and contexts, the authors present the most rigorous evaluation of how salespeople behave and how they are driven. In doing so, they reveal the secret code behind consistent and high-level success in sales. The authors of The Salesperson’s Secret Code combine hard data with intelligent insight to show, with verve and skill, how the world’s best salespeople continue to thrive in uncertain times and how others can learn from their success.
100 Big Ideas To Help You Succeed
Thank you for a brilliant session last year, which continues to shape everything I do when speaking to and meeting with our supporters. The 100 big ideas book remains in my handbag at all times!”
Events Manager, Diabetes UK
Thank you very much for your presentation this morning! I had been so focused on organizing the event it hadn’t occurred to me that I might get something out of it – frankly I found your talk inspirational, and you have given me much to consider going forward.”
Finance Director, GfK
Podcasts and Interviews
I can’t thank you enough for our sessions. They really opened my eyes as to how I’ve ended up feeling/ behaving like I am! I would never have got this level of insight through group training – thank you again!”
Thank you again for the creative thought, the vision and the ultimate experience. The event was a huge success. It doesn’t get any better when the Sr. VP of the theatre takes aside my boss and my manager’s boss (who was also there) and says ‘This was brilliant! Absolutely well done!’”
