In Be Exceptional, the world’s leading expert on body language teaches you how to become a leader: by mastering your own behavior, observing others and learning techniques to persuade them, and developing a value-based framework to inspire people and work for good. Joe Navarro spent a quarter century with the FBI, pursuing spies and other dangerous criminals across the globe, and conducting more than 10,000 interviews and interrogations in the process. Be Exceptional distills a lifetime of experience into the five principles that are integral to effective leadership: Self-Mastery (“the cornerstone of leadership”); Observation (using the same techniques as the Bureau to read and assess others); Communication (leveraging verbal and nonverbal skills to persuade, motivate, and inspire); Action (building shared purpose and leading by example); and Caring (“the secret ingredient of exceptional individuals”). Drawing upon case studies from history, compelling firsthand accounts from Navarro’s FBI career, cutting edge science on nonverbal communication and persuasion, Be Exceptional is a new type of leadership book, one that will have the power to transform for years to come.
