Beschreibung des Verlags
The best leaders, in the biggest moments, know how to read the situation, respond in the most effective way possible, and move forward. You can, too.
The hardest part of leadership is mastering the inevitable high-risk, high-stakes challenges you will face. Whether you're making a split-second decision when your business is knocked sideways or you're finding the best strategy to navigate business-critical long-term circumstances, how can you be in peak form in those most crucial moments?
Leadership coaching legends David Noble and Carol Kauffman show you how with their innovative new framework—MOVE—which equips you with the tactics you need to slow down high-stakes situations before they speed you up. You'll learn to master the moment, generate response options, and quickly evaluate those options before acting. As you get better and better at using the framework, you'll find you can recognize these moments as they arrive, like a great athlete who can read the field as a play unfolds or a great conductor who anticipates what's needed to deliver a great performance.
Noble and Kauffman bring decades of experience coaching thousands of leaders, along with a deep base of research, to show why their unique two-on-one coaching method works and how it's done. The MOVE framework comes to life in these pages through the personal stories of real leaders living through their own crucible moments. Real-Time Leadership is a compelling and demystifying look at how the MOVE framework delivered positive results for them—and how it can for you, too.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Leaders must remain levelheaded to make it through crises, contend corporate leadership consultants Noble and Kauffman in their pragmatic debut. To help readers stay even-keeled through tough times, the authors outline their MOVE framework, which encourages being "mindfully alert" (know "what is needed from you as a leader"), generating options, validating one's vantage point (make sure one sees the situation clearly), and effecting change. Client stories illustrate how the plan functions, such as when the authors emphasize the importance of "overcoming your instincts" (part of being "mindfully alert") by telling how they counseled a young head of transformation to hold back her tendency to tackle problems "head-on" so that she might better confront downsizing her company's workforce, which required "finesse" and deliberation. Noble and Kauffman outline four "stances" to help readers think about possible responses to a problem, suggesting readers consider what it would look like if they leaned in (took action), leaned back (observed then acted), leaned with (sought help), or didn't lean (let the scenario play out). The focus on developing inner strength and mindfulness is encouraging and the advice straightforward, though the exhortations to remain calm and proceed through the steps of MOVE grow repetitive. Still, business leaders will find useful recommendations for dealing with turmoil.
