Are you a Badger or a Doormat?

This may sound like a strange question to ask a leader, but these two characters encapsulate the behaviour of leaders who struggle with focusing their time and energy most effectively.

The Doormat Boss is constantly available to whoever needs his time and opinion. This prevents him from being an effective leader – his focus is set by other peoples’ agenda.

The Badger Boss is rarely seen except at dawn and dusk and is always busy on something remote but important. He might be an effective leader – but how would the team he leads ever know?

Rosie Miller’s engaging, easy-to-read book “Are you a Badger or a Doormat? How to be a leader who gets results” is full of serious advice on how to avoid these extremes. It shows you how to be a balanced, focused leader who gets results. Using memorable caricatures to highlight the effects of your behaviour as a leader, it offers a powerful model for effective leadership. It also provides you with clear instructions and simple self-coaching processes so you can take practical steps to greater success yourself.

The focus is on five skills common to the most effective leaders:

• Making the best use of your time and energy
• Communicating effectively
• Delegating and people development
• Motivating a diverse workforce
• Creating effective change.

 

Throughout the book Rosie Miller, a sought-after international executive coach, along with 20 highly experienced leaders, offers advice on the mindsets, habits and working practices that result in  successful leadership. This book gives you the practical and direct guidance you need to upgrade your thinking and your behaviour to become an energetic, focused and visionary leader.
