Leading Well is about the inspiration of leadership. It focuses squarely on the personal attributes that can transform managers into leaders and good leaders into great leaders.For this - the second book in its Leadership Series - the Institute of Managers and Leaders asked its membership of more than 10,000 which were the most important personal attributes for leadership success. The top 7 attributes selected are explored in detail in this book.Respect, integrity, emotional intelligence, ability to inspire, authenticity, self-awareness and decisiveness lie at the very heart of the ability for a leader to lead well. These attributes are presented in each of the 7 chapters and each is supported by case studies, practical advice, real-life examples, strategies for improvement and interviews with some of today's top leaders. The result is a book that is useful, practical and inspiring. Leading Well isn't about leadership theory; it's about the practice of leadership. It's about leaders rolling up their sleeves and doing things differently to have an impact.

In the moments that really matter, people don't just look for something to inform them, they look to someone who will lead them. They don't just want a speaker, they need a leader. This is a book about making those moments count. If you struggle with public speaking or presenting this book will help, but the real purpose aims higher than that. This is a book to help you become a more effective leader, to help you build and leverage your leadership platform to lead and mobilise your people.

There have been many approaches to leadership over the years, from command and control to more inclusive styles. Some leaders micro-manage, others are quick to delegate. It is hard for new leaders who are perhaps just starting to manage a team to find the right approach. And equally hard for more experienced leaders who would like to be more approachable and supportive.According to leadership expert, Karen Morley, leaders who coach can double their engagement score. Even more importantly in today's technology-driven, fast-paced world, they can lighten their load and reduce the pressure on themselves.Coaching is all about refocusing how you engage with your team. Leaders who coach: Focus on the team and on developing the members of the team Trust their team and delegate, but are still there to offer support Encourage and applaud Listen to their team's challenges and encourage them to find solutions Ask coaching questions Develop next-gen leaders who pay the coaching approach forward.Lead Like a Coach is for leaders who care about the people they lead; care about their own success; and want to make a positive impact on their stakeholders, their families and their communities. It is packed with practical strategies and case studies making it easy for anyone to start to lead like a coach.

A Greek by the name of Mentor stepped into the shoes of a King for the ten years of the Trojan Wars to develop his son for the responsibilities of the throne. These skills of mentoring have been nurtured over the centuries and are alive and well today in the development of our top leaders. Recent research shows mentoring is the most important source of learning at work after 'on the job' experience, and moreover it's a critical life skill for everyone. This book sets out what mentoring is, and how it's been used by Australia's best leaders in business, education, politics, public and sporting life. The vast majority had great mentors in their own lives, and all have now taken on that role themselves. Author, mentor and mentee, Peter Wilson, has spent over two years meeting and interviewing leading figures from politics and public life. In MAKE MENTORING WORK he shares their wisdom and advice. If you would you like to receive personal and career advice from two of Australia's three longest serving Prime Ministers, state premiers, a Governor General, Police commissioner, one of Australia's leading women CEOs, a world champion Wallaby Captain, the 2000 Australian Olympic team's flag-bearer, CEO of the Commonwealth Bank, Australia's first female Police Commissioner - among others - then step inside this book today.

Self-managed superannuation funds (SMSFs) have always had the option of purchasing property with cash.

Super is an excellent vehicle for accumulating wealth and saving for retirement and Australians have had a long-standing love affair with property. By combining the two, many think they have achieved a match made in heaven. However, before considering using your SMSF to invest in property, and in particular borrowing to invest, it is best to have all the facts. In this informative book, superannuation expert, Martin Murden, looks at this investment strategy from all angles: Comparison between direct vs indirect property ownership through your SMSF. 1. Buying with cash or borrowings. 2 .What property your SMSF can and cannot buy. 3. Buying with a partnership or trust. 4. How your investment property will be taxed. 5. What happens when you sell the property. 6. Managing your investment property in retirement
