The Leadership PIN Code - by Nashater Deu Solheim (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

As a seasoned business leader, do you wonder why you sometimes get the traction you want with people, while other times it feels like you're spinning your wheels? It's not luck. You must be able to persuade and influence those you lead to get results in a positive way. Finding the win-win in every interaction is critical to achieving this, as your team and stakeholders must willingly go in the direction you're asking them to go.

It's the integration of these skills--persuasion, influence, and negotiation--that allows leaders to gain traction and develop high-performing, fully engaged teams.

In The Leadership PIN Code, Dr Nashater Deu Solheim shares a unique and proven framework for creating the impact and influence you need in your daily work. You'll learn how to use three simple keys to get what you need from every interaction--while also maintaining positive relationships. If you want to be a leader who inspires trust, easily navigates conflict, and creates value every day, The Leadership PIN Code is for you.

Review Quotes

"Dr Solheim has posed a great challenge for leaders to step up their game, and she has provided a method which is rooted in neuroscience to guide the way! We desperately need more engaging leaders to truly lead in our ever-changing, ever-volatile business world. This is a must-read for anyone desiring to inspire high performing teams and breakthrough results."

--Bonnie Fetch, executive director at Cummins Inc, co-author, (Un)Skirting the Issues: A Guide for the Well-Intentioned Man in Today's Workplace

"Just as Adlerian Psychology said, 'All problems are interpersonal relationship problems', Nashater has brilliantly proposed that 'All solutions are interpersonal relationship solutions'!

And the connective tissue in this is quality of communication. Not only is this evident through the content and context of the book but in the style of how it is written.

Truly effective leaders simplify the complex to ensure clear communication. They synthesise from multiple inputs those key issues that harmonise the diversity of talents and attributes of their teams. The quality of such communication builds a relationship where the team feels they are working with the leader, not for the leader. To be successful, the leader understands that the technical business of leadership is worth little without the people business of leadership.

This book is a game-changer in this respect because Nashater is exceptional in her depth of knowledge in leadership sciences, in people business wisdom, and in how she applies it to build effective relationships in practice.

The Leadership PIN Code is far more than words setting out a route map to achieving 'willing and winning relationships'. Nashater coaches you through the journey to give you the ownership of bringing it to real life.

"I first met Dr. Solheim approximately four years ago and was immediately impressed by her clear mind and precise reflections about effective leadership--on how and what to focus on. The Leadership PIN Code made me curious at first with its easy "tips and tricks", studied and experienced from her broad background and expertise. Being a leader gives us various challenges. Through my cooperation with Dr. Solheim which has grown stronger over the years, she has provided me as a leader and person with deep insight and an effective toolbox to become a smarter and more efficient leader for high performing teams."
