Leadership From Below by Trond Arne Undheim is a remarkable book that I had the pleasure of reviewing. This book presents readers with an important set of skills that anyone can use regardless of their status to maximise and improve on the potential influence that they have in any professional organisation or business.
Throughout the book you will be presented with anecdotes that Undheim shares along with a review of the key lesson at the end of each chapter of this book. The book is very easy to read and you can recap at any stage by just reviewing the lesson learned at the end of each chapter. This is indeed very valuable and means that you don’t need to re-read the entire book to find important points.
Reading the chapters in this book you will find illustrated points and there is a brilliant chapter on speed reading which is something that everyone can use to their advantage.
Leadership From Below provides information on all the technological advances that we have today and includes details of the multicultural generation that we live in today. You will learn how to incorporate new technology into your business and how to befriend social networks and the likes to maximise the benefits that can be reaped. Social marketing can indeed be used in a work environment and Undheim shows you how. Hi s provides a unique analysis and gives you the complete framework to help you understand the how you can use all these resources to help your business.
Undheim takes about a new breed of leaders and takes you by the hand with some great ideas and very valuable information. This book will make you aware of how knowledge can be used and how the multicultural environment that we live in today should be used. The internet generation is here to stay and if you can deliver and practise leadership skills to this generation then you will have the respect you deserve without having to be a manager.
Reading this book will make you aware of the possibilities that are out there and how you can achieve them. You will find concrete advice throughout this book and you will learn how to take responsibility and gain important influence. Learning how to access different networks and how speak with people is all part of these amazing teachings.
This book really does cover a great deal of important issues that are both useful and important in today’s modern leadership model. The book combines eastern and modern teachings to give a new outlook on leadership and how you can achieve it. Some of these teachings include ba, Zen, Feng Shui, and Ki along with the likes of gender-neutral practices and how to work using both networking and hierachy.
This book shows you that everyone can become a leader if they have the potential and the skills. Everyone can learn these skills and reading this book will get you on your way. You need to be aware of your own self-consciousness and be able to reflect on decisions you make. Action is important and needs to be followed through.
I know that Leadership From Below is a book that you wil refer to again and again as it will inspire you to take the action you need to take. You will learn how to take time for yourself and how to recharge your energy. You will become focused and want to become whatever you believe you can be.
To conclude this book review, let me just say, many leadership books that you will read will focus on management. Leadership From Below is different in that it focuses on the whole person including your culture, education, social skills, personality, lifestyle, and how you use technology. All this combined is what makes you a leader and not the position you hold within a company. If you are ambitious and you want to understand leadership from a new perspective then this book is one that you will thoroughly enjoy.
