ecome a next-generation leader – rich in emotional and social
intelligence and orchestrating outstanding collaborative results –
by mastering these eight status quo-shattering paradoxes.
The Eight Paradoxes of Great Leadership unpacks the fresh strategies
and new mindset required from a next-generation leader today.
Author Dr. Tim Elmore helps leaders of all kinds navigate increasingly
complex, rapidly changing environments and manage teams that bring a
range of new demands and expectations to the workplace not seen even a
single generation before.
After working alongside John C. Maxwell for twenty years, Tim now
offers counter-intuitive paradoxes that, when put into practice, enable
today's leaders to differentiate themselves and better connect with their
teams and customers. This book furnishes ideas that equip leaders to
inspire their team members in ways a paycheck never could.
Having trained hundreds of thousands of young professionals to develop
into leaders, Dr. Elmore shares the secrets of next-generation leaders
who've practiced the unique paradoxes outlined in this book to inspire their
team members in ways a paycheck never could.
In The Eight Paradoxes of Great Leadership, readers will:
• Learn how today's team members require a combination of different
qualities from their leaders than in the recent past
• Grasp the importance of eight key paradoxes that are critical for next-
generation leaders to start practicing right now
• Be inspired by historic and modern-day leaders who've lived the eight
paradoxes
• Understand how they, too, can lead with the eight paradoxes, and be
guided to the emotional and social intelligence that will resonate with
their teams and deliver outstanding collaborative results.
