The Silent Language of Leaders
Carol Kinsey Goman
Jossey-Bass, 2011
From the Book: Aspiring and seasoned leaders have been trained to excel at communicating verbally. And yet, all their efforts to communicate effectively can be derailed by even the smallest nonverbal gestures, such as the way they sit in a business meeting, or stand at the podium at a speaking engagement, or the amount of eye contact they give in a one-on-one meeting. In The Silent Language of Leaders, leadership and communications expert Carol Kinsey Goman explains that in today’s fast-paced business environment, where global interactions are increasing, mastering the art of body language is more important than ever.
Elements of Influence: The Art of Getting Others to Follow Your Lead
Terry Bacon
AMACOM, 2011
From the Book: We succeed in business and in life when we influence how others think, feel, and act: getting them to accept our point of view, follow our lead, join our cause, feel our excitement, or buy our products and services. The act of influencing is such a part of our daily lives that we often don’t even realize when we (or others) are doing it. But to succeed, we need to know how influence works…and how to use it.
