Who’s in the Driver’s Seat?
 This is a book for leaders and managers who want to strengthen their abilities to connect their business teams with the business goals using a simple, yet profoundly effective 3-Step process.
The book is built around two leaders, George and Dave and tells the story, chapter by chapter, of how the different behaviors and communications of the ego-driven George, and the spirited Dave, impact the performance of their respective teams. This is a practical, hands-on book that can be read quickly and applied easily.
The concept of ego has been around forever. There is nothing new about the fact that we all have an ego. The question is whether our ego hampers our success or assists our success; and whether we know how to manage our egos. Similarly the terms ‘team spirit’ and ‘having great spirit’ have been around forever. The idea that being spirited is a positive attribute is not new.
What is groundbreaking about "Who’s in the Driver’s Seat" is the idea of Spirited Economics™ – the concept that spirit is an untapped and quantifiable financial asset existing in all organizations.
Why are organizations beginning to give serious consideration to ego in the corporate environment? What does being spirited have to do with hard core issues like business and revenue? How can your organization benefit from including the concept of Spirited Economics™ in its strategy, culture and leadership development?
In "Who’s in the Driver’s Seat?", Dr Gluckman presents a strong business case for the point of view that ego is good, as long as it is kept in the ‘passenger seat,’ and is not the main leadership driving force. The reason is that unmanaged ego acts and speaks in ways that switch others off. At a time when organizations are faced with a war for talent, and political, economic and competitive challenges like never before, knowing how to switch your business teams on to the business goals, is a critical leadership skill.
