By Dean and Mary Tjosvold 1st Edition

Psychology for Leaders was designed to provide managers with the psychological training they need to be effective leaders. Reading it could very well prove to be one of the most important career moves you'll ever make.

In today's "synergistic," team-oriented business organization, every manager is a leader. Now this fascinating and instructive book schools you in the core psychological knowledge and skills that every manager/leader needs to motivate, empower, and unite their people effectively.

"I wish this book was available when we were designing a training program for new program managers. Although most leaders are typically content experts, they have not studied the psychology of leadership and this is what seems to cause them problems in their careers. Psychology for Leaders provides insight into these challenges and recommends sound, practical approaches to achieving their business objectives."--Candice L. Phelan, PhD Human Resource Development Lockheed Missiles and Space Co., Inc. Austin Division

"Dean and Mary Tjosvold have created a new, distinctly different learning approach to the elusive subject of leadership. Written in everyday, understandable language and richly illustrated with practical cases, it is a valuable guide to developing and enhancing leadership skills. I would urge anyone from the newest to the most experienced manager/executive to read and absorb this book. It will be time profitably spent."--Richard J. Haayen Retired Chairman of the Board & CEO Allstate Insurance Company Executive-in-Residence Southern Methodist University

"There are many books about leadership on the market. This one provides insight into the 'whys' behind the actions of successful leaders. It's a practical how-to guide providing value for anyone who wants to accept the leadership challenge."--Sue Elliot Vice President of Human Resources TGI Friday Inc.
