This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LEADERSHIP CAN BE anything one says it is—that is until a person or group has to do something complex with it. For the most part, leadership development remains an exercise of the abstract ostensibly possessed by the heroic or gifted few and disconnected from the multifaceted real-world challenges of everyday life. Throttle Up represents a departure from the traditional perspective in which leadership resides in the traits or behaviors of individuals in leadership roles. Instead, Throttle Up asserts that leadership in the 21st century is a practice to be learned-proving there is a difference between being a “leader” and “doing” leadership. The 21st-century world in which we live is filled with ambiguity, turbulence, rapid complex change, information overload, and the yearning of people to find meaning from the work they do. Therefore, leaders must be able to initiate and create an environment where people come to do their best work every day by melding diverse talent and individual abilities into collaborative, interdependent unified action. Most important, those involved in a leadership dynamic must increase their ability to do leadership together because in the 21st-century--LEADERSHIP IS WHAT PEOPLE DO TOGETHER! However, leaders of organizations are prone to repeat yesterday’s news because they are looking for leadership in the wrong place. Throttle Up explains how and why traditional leadership development initiatives are going nowhere fast. To accelerate a transition to 21st-century leadership practices, Throttle Up offers seven “how-to” methods to accelerate the impact of leadership training in organizations. These action-oriented 21st-century leadership practices include: • How to complete a strategic thinking session • How to initiate and establish a leadership network • How to create storybooks to accelerate culture shifts • How to use the four frames to create compelling communications to support a culture shift (Wax-On, Wax-Off) • What five questions to ask when selecting a 21st-century leadership impact program • How to apply the LeadSimm® Leadership Impact Simulation Method • How to create and implement a pull learning education and evaluation strategy designed to assess the training impact on the organization To bring leadership into the 21st century, Throttle Up presents a model that assures accelerated learning can shift an organization’s effectiveness in ways not found elsewhere.

Download or read book Good Business written by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-03-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi published the groundbreaking Flow more than a decade ago, world leaders such as Tony Blair and former President Clinton, and influential sports figures like Super Bowl champion coach Jimmy Johnson have all been inspired by the book. In today's corporate upheaval, a new business paradigm is evolving. While many CEOs are being exposed for their greed, truly visionary leaders believe in a goal that benefits themselves as well as others. They realize that it is their vision and "soul" that attract loyal employees willing to go above and beyond the call of corporate duty. And their employees are realizing the same thing: while 80 percent of adults claim they'd work even if they didn't have to, the majority of them can hardly wait to leave their jobs and get home. Good Business starts with the premise that this is an age in which business and work have replaced religion and politics as central forces in contemporary life. The book reveals how business leaders, managers, and even employees can find their "flow" and contribute not only to their own happiness, but also to a just and evolving society. It identifies the factors crucial to the operation of a good business: trust, the commitment to fostering the personal growth of employees, and the dedication to creating a product that helps mankind. Good Business is sure to become a must-read text for anyone who values the positive contributions of individuals in the changing world of business.

This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern organizational life seems dominated by crisis BP and the Gulf Oil spill, TEPCO and the Japanese tsunami, the global financial meltdown. Therefore it is particularly timely to find a collection of articles in this Handbook that provides research guidance and practical insights on how leaders manage or mismanage in crisis situations. The focus on the crisis leader highlights what they do, and how they do it, while at the same time raising important questions to guide subsequent analysis. Sydney Finkelstein, Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth, US and author of Why Smart Executives Fail With contributions from many of the leading researchers in the field, the Handbook of Research on Crisis Leadership in Organizations summarizes much of the theory, research, and opinion about various facets of crisis leadership in order to advance this emerging field. It recognizes that crises have become an almost inevitable part of organizational life, and describes how leaders can facilitate people getting through the crisis. The Handbook is divided into four parts: attributes and behaviors of the crisis leader; leadership of subordinates during a crisis; managing the present crisis and prevent future crises; and an integration of approaches to understanding crisis leadership. Enough knowledge has been accumulated about crisis leadership in organizations to serve as guidelines for practice, as well as a research base to build on for the future. Leaders must help others get through crises as well as prevent them. Researchers in the field of crisis leadership and crisis management will find this important resource invaluable. Academics and students of organizational behavior, industrial and organizational psychology, and management will also find much of interest and might also suggest the book as a valuable addition to their library as an important resource in the field of crisis leadership. Human resource professionals in larger organizations as well as management consultants who endeavor to acquire advanced knowledge about this field will find the practical aspects of keen interest as well.
