Why are some leaders in high-stakes and crisis highly effective while others disappoint and some utterly fail? What is the difference?
Why are some able to not only survive but thrive, even in tumult?
High-stakes leadership has three critical aspects
Alan Weiss, author of Million Dollar Consulting, Lifestorming (with Marshall Goldsmith), and over 60 other books.
The elements of high-stakes leadership enable leaders to perform well in a crisis. They also stand any leader, in any situation, in good stead. These qualities can be strengthened, taught and honed in those who have a thirst to learn.
This book shows how to use the lessons from research and practice to become a high-stakes leader. In so doing, leaders will realize just how high the stakes really are, even when they are in calm waters, perhaps the highest-stake belief of all.
Constance Dierickx was a college dropout when she joined Merrill Lynch as a stockbroker. Over several years she observed irrational decision-making, extreme overconfidence and a drive for short-term gain in both her clients and colleagues. Her curiosity about this led her to study psychology and decision-making.
After finishing her PhD in clinical psychology, where she focused on crisis intervention with individuals and organizations, she turned to consulting.
She has worked with organizations in over 20 countries on six continents in an array of industries. Companies she has worked with include: AT&T, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, IBM, Johnson Controls, NextGear Capital, Reckitt-Benckiser, Schnabel Engineering and Westinghouse.
Her merger and acquisition clients succeed 400% more often than the average.
