The Leadership Code
What makes a great leader?
It's a question that has been tackled by thousands. In fact, there
are literally tens of thousands of leadership studies, theories,
frameworks, models, and recommended best practices. But where are
the clear, simple answers we need for our daily work lives? Are
there any?
Dave Ulrich, Norm Smallwood, and Kate Sweetman set out to answer
these questions--to crack the code of leadership. Drawing on decades
of research experience, the authors conducted extensive interviews
with a variety of respected CEOs, academics, experienced executives,
and seasoned consultants -- and heard the same five essentials
repeated again and again. These five rules became The Leadership
Code.
In The Leadership Code, the authors break down great leadership into
day-to-day actions, so that you know what to do Monday morning.
Crack the leadership code--and take your leadership to the next
level
The HR Value Proposition
HR's leading thinkers provide a blueprint for the
future. Drawing on their sixteen-year study of over
29,000 HR professionals and line managers, leading HR
experts Dave Ulrich and Wayne Brockbank propose The
HR Value Proposition. The authors argue that HR
value creation requires a deep understanding of external
business realities and how value is defined by key
stakeholders both inside and outside the company. They
provide practical tools and worksheets for leveraging
this knowledge to create HR practices, build
organizational capabilities, design HR strategy, and
marshal resources that create value for customers,
investors, executives, and employees.

The Why of Work
Dave and Wendy Ulrich
organize the material in this book within a framework of seven
questions. As you review the list, begin to formulate your answers.
1. What am I known for?
2. Where am I going?
3. Whom do I travel with?
4. How do I build a positive work environment?
5. What challenges interest me?
6. How do I respond to disposability and change?
7. What delights me?
They devote a separate chapter to each of these seven questions,
focusing on real-world situations in which various people address the
given issues each query raises. Perhaps your initial responses to the
questions have begun to suggest what you would like to change. Perhaps
they have evoked others. For example, which of the seven are the easiest
for you to answer? Which are the most difficult? Is the answer to any
one of them of greater importance to you than any others?
