It's Not Magic: The Ordinary Skills of Exceptional Leaders

In It's Not Magic, author, chartered psychologist, and professor, John Amaechi, delivers an impactful discussion of the dull, ordinary, energy-expensive, and transformative behaviors that define the world's best leaders.

The book walks you through the seemingly obvious but difficult-to-nail mindsets and intentions you'll need to adopt to influence and motivate others. You'll learn strategies and techniques you can apply immediately to help those who follow you to flourish and maximize their potential.

Inside the book:

• Easy-to-follow explanations of the straightforward behaviors you can model to improve your ability to lead others • Habits you can adopt immediately to motivate others in any setting, from the boardroom to the classroom or the battlefield • Data-driven insights into the tiny, little things that great leaders do every day and how to incorporate them into your emotional and behavioral repertoire

An essential listen for managers, executives, board members, and other business leaders, It's Not Magic will also prove invaluable to entrepreneurs, founders, teachers, military leaders, academics, and anyone else expected to motive and inspire others to achieve great things.
