Mike Mister on his new book, How to Lead Smart People: Leadership for Professionals

In this Off-the-Shelf book discussion series brought to you by The Conference Board, Marion Devine, Senior Human Capital Researcher for Europe interviews Mike Mister on his latest book ‘How to Lead Smart People: Leadership for Professionals’.

This book uses 50 simple lessons to show the reader in concise, pithy prose how to manage a team of equals with intelligence and diplomacy.

Each lesson features a short introduction and example from the authors' experience, showing you how skills can be acquired. These are then followed by 6-10 action points to implement immediately. Core leadership skills are reevaluated for the leader of a smart team.

The book teaches you core skills such as decision making and delegating, but also soft skills such as delivering good and bad news to team members and how to realise more general aims such as building trust and growing your team. The authors also offer advice on how to look after yourself as a team leader, how to build resilience in tough situations, but also how to develop creativity and extend your skill base so that you are constantly learning.
