Beschreibung
Leadership Psychology explores the psychological principles that differentiate effective leaders, focusing on how understanding human behavior drives business success. The book highlights the importance of influence, not as manipulation, but as fostering collaboration through understanding others' motivations. It also examines cognitive biases, inherent flaws in thinking, and emotional intelligence, crucial for building trust and motivating teams.
The book uniquely integrates research from psychology, business management, and organizational behavior, using case studies and empirical research to provide a comprehensive understanding of leadership. For instance, understanding cognitive biases, as highlighted by Daniel Kahneman's work, can protect organizations from poor decisions. It argues that leadership isn't just innate talent but a deep understanding of human psychology.
The book progresses through three parts: introducing core psychological theories, exploring leadership competencies like communication and motivation, and applying these principles in business contexts such as strategy and crisis leadership. It offers practical strategies for self-assessment, skill development, and organizational transformation, aiming to develop psychologically intelligent leadership.
