内容简介 Fasten your seat belt, it's all you need to wear.
There is a new wave of thinking and action that puts people before process, choice before change, and meaning before money. We are now entering a new business, leadership and global age, with a vision, agenda and spirit born out of the realisation that there has to be a different way of success, business and leadership. One that sets us free from traditional business thinking, and takes you, your business and your life to new levels of awareness, success and achievement.
This next business age is in your hands. The Naked Leader is the antithesis to the process driven mentality that has wasted so many millions, destroyed the trust between company and employee, and enabled so many companies to at best stand completely still.
The Naked Leader is a distillation of David Taylor's ideas and inspiration - ideas which have made him Europe's most sought-after speaker on leadership and personal growth. David is known as the "Naked Leader" because of his extraordinary ability to strip away uncertainty and doubt, and conclusively show that everything we need to be successful, we already have.
The Naked Leader shares hundreds of life-changing actions, including: The fastest way to make any change in your life How to build deep and lasting rapport with anyone The 7 most powerful questions on earth How to change how you feel, in a single heartbeat The structure of guaranteed success How to be an awesome presenter Discovering who you really are, and why you are here The Naked Leader strips away the mystery, hype and jargon, to reveal the single formula for assured success that is available to everyone. The book is a journey which can be taken from beginning to end, or joined at any stage - taking you to wherever you want to be, drawing on the very best leadership thinking around the world, finally revealing the answer to the ultimate question, "who are you and why are you here?"
Taylor reveals the exact, specific actions to take to predict the future, and then shape it. As a practitioner, not a theorist, Taylor knows what works, and what does not. He shows us what to do, and exactly when to do it.
No matter what your vision, challenge or present position, The Naked Leader ensures that you succeed, making your future no longer a matter of chance, but rather a matter of choice.
It is powerful, and the results are amazing.

编辑推荐 Review
"..The is excellent, it's practical, not evangelical, and it's interactive ... If that sounds awful, it isn't. Taylor's background and sense of purpose make him as knowledgeable and amiable a guide as you could wish for..." (Computing, 8 August 2002) "...written as an adventure, the book allows each reader to choose how to navigate their journey through its pages, just as their future is their own choice..." (Luton News, 28 August 2002) "...National newspapers, TV and radio have all given airtime for his message..." (Information Age, September 2002) "...Inspirational stories and examples abound and the book is a lot of fun to read too..." (City To Cities, October/November 2002) "...David Taylor has succeeded in writing an influential, understandable, jargon free book on leadership and personal success. But most importantly it will not bore you to death and you just might get something from it..." (Sales Director, October 2002) '... an extraordinary book for extraodinary times... brilliant' (Kent Director, April 2003)
Taylor's book is an upbeat, stripped-down set of leadership tools to be applied en route to your success. It is not a slavish guide to be followed from beginning to end, delivering a miraculous dose of success in the final pages. If you want to read the conclusion first, or just look up some specific issues, Taylor won't mind. Why? Because the book is written as seven interconnected journeys, and only you can take your particular journey. You can dip in and out of each journey as you prefer - read 'leadership of people' then make a detour to 'leadership of company', stop and start within any of the different sections as your interests, or leadership needs, wax and wane. Taylor has strewn the text with signposts to tell you where you have been, and where you are going. There is no need to spend days lost in weighty theories within other management books, it is all here in a jargon-free entertaining read. Taylor has a gift for communicating as well as for people management, and his lively prose allows his points to sink in effortlessly as you alternately wince or grin. All in all this new revised edition provides even more of the same indefatigable advice as first time round. It is a book on leadership success unlike any other management book you may have read, and essential reading for anyone in business. (Kirkus UK)
