Críticas

This edited volume boldly embraces a litany of intriguing and provocative ideas that push the boundaries of traditional thought when it comes to inspiring and engaging leadership. No topics are taboo, pariahs or hubris, in the relentless pursuit of truths which are often overlooked in leadership development. -- Donnette Noble, Ph.D * President, Association of Leadership Educators * Refreshing in its approach, Inspiring Leadership draws on the practical experiences of Ashridge's excellent team of practitioners to illustrate how leaders can improve their standing in the organization whilst remaining authentic and emotionally intact. -- Wing Commander Glynn Allcock * Director, Defence Strategic Leadership Programme * Inspiring Leadership is a very different book on leader behaviour. It is about the importance of the personal touch, about humanizing leaders and ensuring authenticity in the role. It's a book that all senior executives must read and internalize if they are to be successful in developing teams and enhancing performance. -- Professor Sir Cary Cooper * ALLIANCE Manchester Business School * This book takes a thoughtful look at some of the main questions about leadership in today's society and provides helpful insight for progressive leaders in business and elsewhere. Kerrie and Roger have brought together a collection of essays that encourage us to think more deeply about our role as a leader. -- Dr Simon Hayward * CEO, Cirrus * Beyond theory, hype and ego, this book offers material for genuine leadership development amidst the confusing complexities of contemporary life. It combes detailed evidence with practical sense, and will hold up an uncannily revealing mirror to anyone wondering about their own leadership. -- Professor Helena Gaunt * Vice Principal and Director of Academic Affairs, Guildhall School of Music & Drama * A variety of pragmatic approaches to leading in a complex world. -- Nigel Melville * Director of Rugby at the RFU *

Reseña del editor

With 13 contributors, and edited by Dr. Kerrie Fleming and Roger Delves, Inspiring Leadership showcases the best of leadership development practice and the most effective leadership styles that have evolved in recent years or are currently gaining attention. Enhanced by a perspective and vision of the types of leaders and leadership skills that will be needed to meet future global demand, the book has three distinctive characteristics: * it will help leaders to translate the latest thinking and offers a simple way of applying this to their current role; * it offers leaders a means by which to develop themselves and their teams, while assessing how their organization may need to evolve in the changing business environment around them; and * it offers a diverse view of leadership perspectives, from which readers can choose in order to enhance their own leadership style and practice. By mapping out the context of the past, present and future of leadership, including a focus on values, Inspiring Leadership looks at developing authenticity and using emotional intelligence to better cultivate a high level of self-awareness in every leader. The book offers invaluable insights on how best to `practise' leadership, using the techniques and leadership perspectives that are most commonly used in business school interventions around the world.
