Hey,

do you have experience / tips / good books on Leadership?

I´m leading a team of 8 people, consisting of two subteams of four people in my students initiative.

We are handling the finances.

I feel like I could be a better leader, but I´m not sure where to start.

For example: what are the principles of leading a team?

thanks!

 Hey mate,

Try this one here: http://www.amazon.com/Managing-Performing-Living-Effective-Management/dp/3593382784/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1300833257&sr=1-2

Dr Malik is a well known Professor for Management Techniques in St Gallen, Switzerland. I read his book and was sheer amazed by his style of Leading.

Basically it comes down to some "core" leading axioms:

- Create specific goals/tasks
- Organising, leading, deciding
- Develop and support your team

The most important of all is HONESTY and TRUST. Think positive, concentrate on little but important things, be result-oriented and improve your skills rather then working on weak spots
Working on weak spots will only result in MEDIOCRITY and WHO wants to be MEDIOCRE? Me not :P

As me being a high rank member of a students' fraternity with lots of experience when it comes to leading people,
I can only emphasise on these points listed above.

Any questions? PM me!

Cheers, 
P-Jay

Hey mate,

I've been the president of an int. student organization for the past 2-3 years. You'll definitely learn a lot. My personal motto is to lead by example first and foremost. And checking out a couple books or literature will get you inspired.

Cheers.

Look at manwhore. The guy is so ugly that I think he's face was on fire and they put out the fire using a baseball bet.
But he has the `energy`.

 I asked one of my early mentors about this- a Special Forces Green Beret.  He'd killed lots of people before and was one of the most intense men I'd ever met.  He told me a great book on leadership was:

Make It So: Leadership Lessons from Star Trek the Next Generation  ( www.amazon.com/Make-So-Leadership-Lessons-Generation/dp/0671520970 )

Owen (Tyler) called me up asked me the same thing- how I'd developed my own leadership style and what books out there were good on it.  I told him the same thing.

 We're doing a podcast on a topic pretty similar.  Did first half last night and second half tonight.  But I think leadership is an EXCELLENT topic to base a podcast on.  We'll get on this one for sure.  Podcasting is SO much easier than writing uggh.
