Leaders Open Doors
A Radically Simple Leadership Approach to Lift People, Profits, and Performance
Recommendation
Early in his career, Bill Treasurer discovered to his dismay that he was a bad leader. To become a better one, he read leadership books, studied leadership as a graduate student and wrote his thesis on leadership issues. Yet he didnât discover the true meaning of leadership until his sonâs preschool chose little Ian, age 5, as âclass leaderâ for the day. When Treasurer asked the boy what he did as class leader, Ian explained proudly, âI got to open doors for people!â Treasurer presents his inspiring concept of âopen-door leadership.â He dispels the myth that your door should always be open to interruptions, since youâd never get any work done that way. Instead, he says leaders should open doors that give other people opportunities, thus helping their employeesâ careers and their own. getAbstract recommends this concise, uplifting and practical manual to leaders and those who want to lead.
