Practical Leadership: A Guide to Building Trust, Getting Results, and Changing Lives -- Janet Ply, Paperback

As a former corporate rescue expert brought in by companies from start-ups to the Fortune 50 to rescue critical initiatives running into the hundreds of millions of dollars, Janet Ply has seen firsthand the staggering cost of leaders- particularly new ones-who struggle and fail.

The reason in most cases is simple: Training at most companies, if it is even provided, is usually impractical or piecemeal, consisting of generic online training programs or inconsistent advice from others who are winging it themselves.

Practical Leadership draws from Ply's decades of hands-on experience and extensive research to present a clear, system-thinking framework that distills the best practices from hundreds of resources into actionable steps that anyone at any level can implement, including:

• Leading by example and creating a safe, efficient, results-oriented work environment
• Strengthening your emotional intelligence to build stronger relationships
• Communicating effectively to improve productivity and build rapport
• Establishing productivity habits to achieve goals faster while maintaining a work-life balance
• Achieving measurable results for long-term success
• Building high-performing teams to promote a culture of accountability

Everyone deserves to work for a great leader. With Practical Leadership, you'll have the tools and strategies to create and lead teams that deliver exceptional results and make a lasting impact on the lives of your colleagues.
