Von der hinteren Coverseite

Contemporary leaders understand that the ways of doing things that worked so well for so long are no longer cutting it. Leadership frameworks and organizational strategies that used to deliver results are constantly being upended and disrupted by a world that no longer offers us stable ground or waits around for leaders to catch up. So, what’s a leader to do when the old tools no longer do the trick?

In The End of Leadership as We Know It, a team of award-winning executive and leadership strategists delivers a practical and insightful analysis of the most common errors leaders make when trying to tackle disruption, as well as a set of concrete strategies for avoiding those mistakes. The authors demonstrate how to apply the latest research in adaptive leadership and complexity to your own style in order to generate an outsized, positive impact on your business, your followers, and yourself.

In the book, you’ll learn to rethink the essence of leadership during times of flux and change. You’ll discover how to deal with unpredictable situations by addressing the massive blind spots generated by the traditional approach to leadership. The End of Leadership as We Know It also presents strategies for unleashing the creativity and full potential of your employees by giving up on the idea of control as a positive characteristic of leadership. It offers tough-love feedback for contemporary leaders doing their best to achieve results and hit targets during increasingly uncertain and volatile times.

Filled with inspirational energy and bursting with creativity, The End of Leadership as We Know It will prove invaluable to managers, executives, directors, entrepreneurs, founders, and other business leaders who seek a new, effective, and powerful framework for leading others at work.
