Check, Tap, and Exploit Your Leadership Potential

What is your leadership style? How will you identify your leadership style? How will you create the optimal leadership environment? How would you engineer the leadership situation of your subordinates? The authors presented the book in such a way that you yourself can measure your personality characteristics and your leadership (or managerial) style through participating in the clearly formatted questionnaires. The book was written in an easy-to-read style by using rating scale methods of assessment as measuring device. Each chapter was concluded with a feedback and summary. The last chapter deals with the leader match scales to determine your overall situational control from the sources of your points in leader-member relations scale, task structure scale, and position power scale. Those who want to know what kind of leadership style they possess and how to exploit their potential in different situation should read the book.
