Críticas:

"Emmanuel Gobillot, a director at the Hay Group HR consultancy and author of The Connected Leader, warns against being too prescriptive about management, and making it seem dull. People look at someone like (celebrity chef) Gordon Ramsay, and think, I want a bit of what hes got. I think we have made management seem far too boring, and imposed too much rigidity on people. HR needs to build awareness of what is acceptable, promote examples of good practice and look at how people feel and react to what we do. he says." (Personnel Today)

"We are at our best when we feel a part of something meaningful and important. Emmanuel Gobillot goes beyond helping us to envision effective leaders to creating the power of possibilities with engaged leaders. He integrates observations from a huge number of fields and industries to bring a fantastic exploration of the essence of great leadership" (relationships- being connected and engaged!)

"Professor Richard Boyatzis, Departments of Psychology and Organizational Behavior, Case Western Reserve University, Adjunct Professor of Human Resources, ESADE, co-author with Dan Goleman and Annie McKee of the international best seller, Primal Leadership, and co-author with Annie McKee of the recent Resonant Leadership." (Emmanuel Gobillot cuts through years of management theories and processes to reveal what our organisations are really about: engaged people who like to work together and create value for other people, our customers. We need to determine a shared direction and lead people in a way that inspires them to follow: Its up to us!)

"John Heller, CEO, ING Insurance Belgium" (Occasionally a management book is published which triggers a paradigm shift in business philosophy. The Connected Leader is such a book. Emmanuel Gobillot has written the first leadership book for the myspace generation. This book offers valuable lessons to every leader from captains of industry to politicians and public servants. Its time to get connected.)

Reseña del editor:

Traditional organizational boundaries limit our ability to deliver results. The Connected Leader argues that many of the old leadership recipes are outdated and don't take into account changes in the work environment and informal social networks within the organization.

Taking a new approach to leadership theory, the author (a senior director at Hay Group) argues that modern leaders engage with employees and improve performance by building on trust, giving meaning to workplace relationships and by creating dialogue within the organization. The Connected Leader provides diagnostic tools for readers to evaluate their own skills and directly relate the insights from the book to their own situation.
