Leadership for the Disillusioned (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This work critically examines modern leadership ways and values, and offers a more positive and realistic alternative. We expect our leaders to be almost superhuman, to provide all the answers, and to never fail us. Yet this belief prevents both leaders and their followers from finding new ways to do the work of leadership. Our workplaces - from huge corporations to community groups - are increasingly enthralled by the idea that more leadership is what's needed to correct the mistakes that previous leaders have already made. "Leadership for the Disillusioned" presents a critical examination of current leadership styles and offers a more realistic alternative. Drawing on Eastern philosophies, it shows how we can become open to the challenges and potential of social and personal change, and thus lead with less ego, how we can make greater connection with others, and in a more liberating way.
