Management: leadership & motivation

Unleash Commitment, Initiative, and Innovation

In their decades of leading groups all over the world, Marvin Weisbord and Sandra Janoff discovered they could get superior results by creating an unconventional approach to leadership. Leaders still need to get everyone aligned around the same goals. But to maximize energy, creativity, and productivity,they gain more by focusing on structure rather than behavior,enabling people to take responsibility and manage themselves.

Lead More, Control Lessdescribes eight essential skills for establishing a culture of autonomy and self-leadership. Using examples and case studies, Weisbord and Janoff describe how leaders can share responsibility, defuse group conflicts, show everyone the big picture, and more. With this approach, leaders truly gain more control by giving it up.

Reviews for Lead More, Control Less: 8 Advanced Leadership Skills That Overturn Convention

As a firm believer in overturning convention, I want to endorse this radical approach to leadership. Marvin Weisbord and Sandra Janoff provide insight, guidance, and support for leaders who practice what I call 'conscious leadership' while aspiring to make a positive difference and enable people to grow. I highly recommend this book to fellow leaders on this journey. --John Mackey, cofounder and co-CEO, Whole Foods Controlling people never makes great things happen. I have found that applying the principles in this book takes patience, time, and imagination. The result is always rewarding and well worth the effort. --Jesper Brodin, Global Head of Range and Supply, IKEA For over two decades I have applied Weisbord and Janoff's principles in making public policy and practicing good governance. Theirs is not just a way of leading others but a way of living life more fully. --Aideen McGinley, Northern Ireland Trustee, BBC Trust, and Trustee, Carnegie UK Trust As a firm believer in overturning convention, I want to endorse this radical approach to leadership.Marvin Weisbord and Sandra Janoff provide insight, guidance, and support for leaders who practice what I call conscious leadership' while aspiring to make a positive difference and enable people to grow.
