Executive Intelligence: What All Great Leaders Have in Common (Paperback)
Synopsis
This work presents the final word on what traits make for highly successful managers and a detailed explanation of how to identify potential standout performers. “Executive Intelligence” is about the substance behind great leadership. Inspired by the work of Peter Drucker, who first identified the attributes of effective executives, and Jim Collins, who showed the paramount importance of getting the right management team together before finding the right strategy, Justin Menkes set out to isolate the qualities that make for the ‘right’ people. In a sense, Menkes work reveals an executive IQ, the cognitive skills necessary in order to excel in senior management positions. Contrary to our popular assumptions, star leaders have many different sorts of interpersonal styles, they are not all warm, empathetic, or overtly charismatic. But they do have one common, consistent trait, they are all sharp.
And they are sharp in the specific ways that constitute “Executive Intelligence”: they readily differentiate primary priorities from secondary concerns; they identify flawed assumptions; they anticipate the different needs of various stakeholders and how they might conflict with one another; and they recognize the underlying agendas of individuals in complex exchanges. Menkes is a passionate advocate for finding and employing the most talented people, especially those who may have been held back by external assumptions.

Explanation of the Supplication for the Sick and Afflicted (Shaykh Abdur Razzaq Ibn Abdul Muhsin al-Abbaad)
Description from the publisher:
The author highlights in this extremely beneficial book a number of ways, derived from the texts of the Quran and the authentic Sunnah, to treat the evil eye, magic, depression, anxiety, pain, sickness and other common ailments. This should be of no surprise to the Muslim as the Prophet (salallaahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Allah has not sent down an illness, except that he also sent down its cure.” Bukhari
Ibn Al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said: “The intent is to speak regarding these two Soorahs [Al-Falaq and An-Naas] and to clarify the greatness of their benefit and the extreme need for them; rather, the necessity of them, and the fact that no one at all can do without them. Similarly, [to clarify] the fact that they have a great effect, specifically on the repelling of magic, the evil eye and the other manifestations of evil. And [to clarify] the fact that the servant’s need for seeking refuge with these two Soorahs is greater than his need for air, food, drink, and clothing” (Badaa’i Al-Pawaa’id by Ibn Al-Qayyim 19912)
Ibn Al-Qayyim said: “This remedy had an effect upon this disease and it removed it to the point that it was as if it never existed. It is the easiest and most convenient [form of] treatment. If the slave were to properly treat the ailment with Al-Faatihah, he would see an amazing effect in terms of [recovery] and healing.
I had stayed in Makkah for a period of time and some illness had afflicted me. I was not able to find a doctor or any medicine. So I would treat myself with Al-Faatihah, and I saw that it has an amazing effect. I would mention that to those who had complained of pain and many of them were healed quickly (by way of it):’ (Al-Jawaab Al-Kaafee p. 5)
