Veteran Business Executive Provides Direction to Improve 'Leadership...

Veteran business executive Bob Sutton wants to help businesspeople navigate the complexities of what he calls "hoods," or organisations that can create synergies and help one achieve more than one could on one's own. In "Leadership in the Hood: Talking About Leadership Application and Management Issues in Organisations" (published by Balboa Press AU), Sutton offers insights and direction to readers to help them become the leaders they were meant to be. The book is available for purchase at: https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Hood-Application-Management-Organisations/dp/1504313755/.

"A hood is an apt metaphor as it suggests that organisations aren't always simple and nice," says Sutton. "They're compiled of teams that should be working in synchronicity, with direction, and in harmony for the benefit of stakeholders."

The book features lessons that cover how to optimize management strategies and enhance leadership skills. Sutton assures all executives that while acquiring the confidence and know-how to lead with success is difficult, it is ultimately rewarding. Readers can expect to learn how to:

• make individual team members better at what they do;
• eliminate dysfunction that can hurt operating results;
• back up your business vision with strategy; and
• empower people to operate within clear boundaries.
