The productive leader: it's more than time management ; The resilient leader: give yourself a psychological kick in the pants ; The contagious leader: control your emotions, not your employees ; The strengths-based leader: capitalize on what's right -- It's about the team. Hiring: the fitness test ; Engaging employees: bring out the best versus get the most ; Performance reviews: change 'em or chuck 'em ; Meetings: from energy buster to energy booster -- Putting it all together.
