Unbalanced Influence Recognizing and Resolving the Impact of Myth and Paradox in Executive Performance

Unbalanced Influence draws on both the science and practice of executive leadership to explore how today's C-level executives are wrestling with what true leadership is, what it looks like, and how--or if--it affects organizational effectiveness. With nearly unprecedented access to ten years of research from the Center for Creative Leadership's (CCL) Leadership at the Peak program, CCL executive Pete Hammett explores in detail how the personality preferences, personal characteristics, interpersonal interactions and leadership competencies of senior executive leaders shape the way those leaders view creativity and innovation, decision making, power and influence, values and ethics and work-life balance. A wealth of data includes results from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and FIRO-B instruments, CCL's Executive Dimensions assessment and the Campbell Leadership Index (CLI) and Campbell Organizational Survey (COS) tools.
