Rethinking leadership

Overview & Synopsis

In the twenty-first century, leaders are having to speak a new language, create fluid organic structures, and recognise organisations as systems with self-renewing capacity. Rethinking leadership explores what real leadership means, encouraging the reader to look within – examine assumptions and make explicit the trusted mental models, seek out reflective space and embark on the journey of authentic self-expression. The reader is encouraged to ask such questions as; “What do these issues, these challenges, mean for me and the organisation?” “What action should we take to turn these challenges into limitless possibilities?” Topics covered in Rethinking leadership include: * Awareness – The Metaskills of the Leader * Openness – The Times are a Changing * Simplicity – New Science and Leadership * Complexity – Uncertainty and Change * Connectivity – Communication, Conversation and Dialogue * Ambiguity – Leadership Incongruities, Tensions and Paradoxes
