Assuming you’re not Tiger Woods or Annika Sorenstam,
chances are your golf-playing (or watching) time is
interrupted on a regular basis by the demands of your
work. But the approach you use on the links translates
surprisingly well to the office and the boardroom. Golf
and the Game of Leadership shows how qualities
like focus, consistency, confidence, and "playing
by the rules" all apply to the way you perform
in the professional realm. Don McHugh, whose management
experience is matched only by his passion for golf,
leads you through 18 "holes," including:
#1. You’ve Gotta Love the Game: be passionate
about your leadership role
#5. Visioning: from dreaming to achieving, lay out
a future for yourself in the game of leadership
#6. Posture, Grip, Alignment (PGA): the backbone
of a solid game, excellence in fundamental skills is
the key to sustaining success
#11. Feedback: a golfer can tell a slice from a clean
shot. Honest, timely feedback is the equivalent in
business.
#13. Responsibility: play your own ball and require
that others do the same
#18. It’s Up to You: leadership is an individual
game. Don’t just talk a good game -- play a good
game
At the "19th hole," you’ll complete
your "basic round chart" based on the key
concept from each of the 18 holes, and score yourself
for each. (And don’t forget to celebrate!) Whether
you’re new to the game of leadership or already
a "top hitter," this book will help you hit
straight and true -- every round.
