The Leader in You
by Dale Carnegie & Associates
Carnegie's organisation applies How to Win Friends to 1990s management: communication, motivating people, listening, enthusiasm, balance. It is a competent corporate update and nowhere near the original's bite.
Read it if…
you want the Carnegie principles aimed at managing a team.
Skip it if…
you want Carnegie himself; this is the institution.
Three things you will actually use
- People support what they help create.
- Listening is the leader's first skill.
- Enthusiasm is contagious and so is its absence.
Do this first
Read the chapter on listening and apply one practice in your next meeting.
Our verdict
Carnegie, the institution.
