Extraordinary Leadership: Creating Strategies for Change

Extraordinary Leadership: Creating Strategies for Change

by PeterJ.Reed (Author)

Synopsis

Leadership is about converting vision into reality via strategic thinking and co-ordinated action. It is about defining and clarifying a vision and inspiring others not only to 'sign up' to the vision, but to commit themselves enthusiastically to sharing responsibility for the process of implementing it. In business, leadership often involves co-ordinating the process of major organisational change through considerable resistance and in turbulent operating environments. This is never easy. Extraordinary Leadership provides a unique synthesis of key leadership concepts from the perspective of the author's 18 years international experience in leadership development and consulting. It also includes a 'toolkit' with which leaders can empower members of their management teams. Particular emphasis is given to how to develop a strategy and plan for the business challenges of the new global economy and the internet age.
