* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.
As you read this summary, you will discover how to become a humble and caring leader.
You will also discover :
that the strength of a collective is the people in it, not the leader;
that a good leader does not impose his authority, but invites others to progress and strive for excellence;
that leadership is exercised on the ground, close to the individuals, with dedication and humility;
that no one is omniscient or indispensable;
that replacing the balance of power with respect and giving does not mean submitting, but rather encouraging your fellow men to do the same.
There are many books, theories and advice on leadership: vertical or horizontal, more or less authoritarian, it is a constant preoccupation of leaders. But to focus so much on the abilities and conduct of an individual alone is a mistake. What really counts is the collective: the leader is there to guide and serve, to give each person the means to realize his or her potential. Through a parable on this central theme of the company, Bob Burg and John David Mann give you the keys to a new approach. It is not a model, but a state of mind: giving, emancipating, respecting and knowing how to step aside.
