Leadership In Moments Of Truth

Leadership in Moments of Truth was written by Yom Tov Samia. He takes his readers into the field, visiting landmarks in his personal history and in the history of Israel. His objective is to illuminate military and corporate leadership - and his work is successful on many levels. Leadership in Moments of Truth is a comprehensive glimpse inside the world of Generals - on a personal, strategic and interpersonal level. It informs about the greatest pinnacles and abysses; from wild victories to the catastrophic loss of lives. It enchants us with descriptions about his childhood in "makeshift housing" in early Israel to the path this leader created for himself in his youth and on to becoming Major General in the Israel Defense Forces. Yom Tov Samia is an efficient, clear headed and humane leader who spent three decades leading soldiers and when he retired, continued his role as leader in the corporate world, where he added the elements and visions of an academic and researcher. Two principles guide Major General (Res.) Yom Tov Samia in his military and corporate life in order to motivate people and lead groups: A: Always preserve the self respect of others, regardless of position and situation - never abuse the position of leader by inducing harm to another person's sense of self. B: All organizations, corporate, military or otherwise must have a leader who is responsible and accountable - the fortitude of every organization begins with its leader. Using a direct and yet simultaneously enchanting voice, filled with explanation and emotion, Dr. Yom Tov Samia allows his readers a deep sense of the events he experienced in his many roles both in the military and in his corporate career.

Just as the Wright Brothers combined science and practice to finally realize the dream of flight, Ryan and Robert Quinn combine research and personal experience to demonstrate how to reach a psychological state that elevates us and those around us to greater heights of achievement, integrity, openness, and empathy. It's the psychological equivalent of aerodynamic lift, and it is the fundamental state of leadership. This book draws on recent advances in positive psychology and organizational science to describe four questions that, when asked in any situation, will help us experience the fundamental state of leadership. Engaging personal stories illustrate how the Quinns and others have applied these concepts at work, at home, and in the community. --
