Book - Leadership Secrets of Genghis Khan.

Book by John, John Man that is. John's starting point is that Genghis is a very rare exception to the Peter Principle: 'in a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence'. (Checkout http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Principle for enlightenment!!) He takes Daniel Goleman's notion of Emotional Intelligence (EI) to measure Genghis leadership qualities to explain why. Not that you need to. I mean, he brought home the bacon, did he not?

So: effective leaders tick 4 positive E.I. indicator boxes out of 18, highly effective leaders 6 +. John considers Genghis ticks a full 15 out of 18. Surrender now!!!

Not only could Genghis out shoot everybody else, he out lead/managed everybody else too.
