Leadership Magic: Practical Tools for Creating Extraordinary Organizations

by Ben Valore-Caplan

With his new book, Leadership Magic, author and entrepreneur Ben Valore-Caplan offers his readers a uniquely practical guide to developing and refining the skills, practices, and habits of mind and heart necessary to challenge and invite people to perform at their best. With self-assessment tools and discussion questions included at the end of each section, this book challenges readers to see leadership as a process of bringing out the best in themselves and others, and provides them with the tools to undertake that process. Leadership Magic focuses on eight vital leadership practices--aligning missions, teaching leadership, building relationships, leveraging diversity, coaching communication, negotiating conflict, creating and guiding rituals, and taking bold risks--and provides leaders with the tools they need to nurture and refine these practices in their lives and their work, so that they can make the most effective business and personal decisions.
