| Summary |
"In Taking Advice, Dan Ciampa provides the first in-depth answer to the question of how leaders with crucial change agendas can most effectively use the help they receive. It identifies the types of advice and counsel most appropriate for specific challenges leaders face, as well as the kinds of advisers to whom they should turn. The most successful leaders benefit from varied counsel, and Ciampa offers guidelines for cultivating a balanced advice network matched to each leader's style and situation. Taking Advice also identifies the attitudes and behaviors that characterize great advice takers." "Ciampa draws from four decades of giving and taking advice and counsel, illustrating his arguments with more than thirty case studies of how leaders have successfully used advice or mismanaged it."--BOOK JACKET |
