Reviews - What do customers think about Relational Intelligence: How Leaders Can Expand Their Influence Through a New Way of Being Smart (Jossey-Bass Leadership Network Series)?
 | Essential Reading Nov 17, 2009 |
| Everyone needs to read this book, especially those who have influence over others. It will be invaluable for those who work together in a team. I highly recommend you get this book and read it! | | | | There is a little Michael Scott in all of us! Oct 16, 2009 |
I received Steve Saccone's book from a friend unexpectedly. I had listened to Steve via the Mosaic Podcast and at the Awaken Conference. He serves in LA as a part of Mosaic, where he develops young leaders and some of my friends have worked under his leadership.
This is Steve's first book and it speaks into an often unexplored area of leadership. Steve begins with the reality that many leaders accomplish their goals at the cost of their relationships with those they lead. A leader can show productivity, passion, imagination, and resourcefulness, but he or she can be relationally dumb in interacting with others. I have so many experiences with leaders in the church that knew the Bible well and had seminary degrees but lacked basic people skills that made their work difficult.
Some of my favorite nuggets from the book:
-In the past, authority and credibility were built on status, power or position, but in today's world it's built on power and trust. To be relationally intelligent, we must shift from a positional authority mind-set to the crucial mind-set of relational authority.
-Leaders treat people as a commodity. (OUCH!)
-When we love people well, we become the proof of God.
-Many leaders deflect responsibility and accountability instead of
absorbing it.
-We all have a little bit of Michael Scott in us.
-To be a person is to have a story to tell. (Isak Dinesen)
-If we want to be relational geniuses, we must learn to capitalize on moment's when we see people's values being lived out.
I could list so many great ideas here, but I think Steve makes his goal possible here by the content and context of this book. I think you and I can become more sensitive to our intuition and more aware of the people around us. I think we can develop new habits that are reflective of core values that remind us to value the people we are serving with, not just the task we are bound together in. In this process, "leaders realize that the more people they bring with them, the more powerful the effect they can have on changing the future and making the world a better place."
As the African proverb states, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, bring others with you."
Great book, Steve! | | | | Awesome Book! Oct 14, 2009 |
| This book introduces leadership principles that if practiced, will jump start your relationships to another level. Best leadership book I have ever read! A must read for those in a leadership position. | | | | Relational Intelligence Sep 24, 2009 |
Steve Saccone defines the long standing syndrome of "...leaders who remain completely unaware of his (or her) own contradictory philosophies, offensive insecurities, and oblivious way..." as the Michael Scott Syndrome. This use of culturally iconic humor helped open the doorway to my heart and allowed me to take an inward look into how I relate to family, friends, co-workers and the great people I lead. [...]
