The art of soft influence: 12 principles of management without coercion. Davis J., Davis D.

Many modern leaders believe that the authority based on the authorities is the main tool to achieve goals. When employees do not complete the tasks, lag behind the schedule or fail the project, such leaders strive to strengthen control, be harder and more demanding. However, abuse of force can lead to the alienation of employees, a decrease in their motivation and, as a result, to a deterioration in the results.

Joslin Davis, a consultant in the field of corporate training with 25 years of experience, has developed and successfully applies the concept of “soft influence”. It is based on the principles of spiritual teachings and philosophical schools that have reached us in the texts and statements of the Buddha, Confucius, Rumi, Gandhi and other eastern sages. Davis reinforces these principles with the data of modern studies devoted to the topic of leadership, the opinion of experts in the field of influence and their own experience. Whatever position you take in the corporate world, this book will help you develop flexibility and unite people to achieve business - goals without coercion.
