Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership in today's organizations is a tough business. Organizational leaders face a number of challenges as their jobs, and the world around them, become increasingly complex. Trends, such as organizational "delayering," rapid technological advances, and increased employee empowerment require that leaders adapt their techniques and styles of leadership to meet these new challenges. Consequently, there has been an explosion of interest in leadership in recent years as researchers and management educators struggle to understand the process of leadership development, how it operates, and what characteristics make effective leaders. Born of these questions, the 11th Annual Kravis-de Roulet Leadership Conference at Claremont McKenna College brought together an impressive slate of scholars whose theories, research, and cutting-edge techniques are now gathered together in this impressive volume. Each chapter asks and answers questions about the current state of the field while providing future direction for research to help bridge the gap between leadership researchers and leadership development practitioners. Notable topics include chapters on "e-leadership" and leadership within the "virtual" organization, exploring 360-degree feedback, the importance of "social capital," and a comprehensive analysis of the well-researched theory of Leader Member Exchange.

This book draws on recent advances in positive psychology and organizational science to describe four questions that, when asked in any situation, will help us experience the fundamental state of leadership.

Download or read book Identifying Transformational Leaders written by Ryan Shatzer and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identifying and developing leaders that are able to drive transformational change is a key source for competitive advantage. Research has shown that transformational leaders are capable of driving organizational change and enhancing business performance. The four dimensions of transformational leadership include inspirational motivation, individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, and idealized influence. In addition to these dimensions, research presented in this book demonstrates a strong link between self-awareness and transformational leadership. Additionally, the growing demand for transformational leaders far exceeds the supply, leaving organizations to rely more heavily on internal strategies to develop their leaders. The use of 360 feedback has become a prevalent practice for organizations that are implementing leadership development programs. Many organizations may not know what to make of the discrepancies between leaders' self-assessment scores and the scores of other raters. This book examines the relationship between self-other discrepancies and self-awareness, as well as the role of 360 feedback in identifying transformational leaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transform Your Organization by Scaling Leadership How do senior leaders, in their own words, describe the most effective leaders—the ones that get results, grow the business, enhance the culture and leave in their wake a trail of other really effective leaders? Conversely, how do senior leaders describe the kind of leader that undercuts the organization’s capacity and capability to create its future?

They also describe with equal precision the High-Reactive leadership that cancels itself out and seriously limits scale. Which type of leader are you? You scale your leadership by increasing the multiple on your leadership in three ways. First, by developing the strengths that differentiate the most effective leaders from the strengths deployed by the most Reactive and ineffective leaders. And second, by increasing your leadership ratio—the ratio of most the effective strengths to the most damaging liabilities. Third, by developing High-Creative leaders all around you. Scaling Leadership provides a proven framework for magnifying agile and scalable leadership in your organization.
