This challenging book is based on research carried out over
seven years with over 2,500 senior managers in ten different
companies, in USA and Europe.Michael Williams establishes
and explains the 7 key competency clusters that matter most
today: goal orientation, integrity, close engagement with
thers, `helicopter ' perception, resilient resourcefulness,
personal `horsepower ' and resonant communications. He also
shows how much talent lies untapped in organisations and
proposes methods of mobilizing all this potential. He
demonstrates how, for ultimate success, the key competencies
need to be linked closely to: Personal consistency,
discipline and integrity; Intolerance of mediocrity; A
concern to build mutual trust; Focused passion for the
business; Recognition of the importance of emotional
intelligence
