Creating a Passion for Change.
'Intelligent Leadership' provides an innovative analysis for managers of what makes a leader today, focusing on emotional intelligence and leadership as a psychological commitment.
The need for high-quality leadership in all areas of business and organisational activity has never been greater. A myriad of interlinked factors mean that styles of leadership appropriate in the past no longer work. These factors include new technologies, more questioning attitudes to authority, the arrival of the "virtual organisation" with its network of contributors, and the unprecendently high expectations of customers and employees.
In this book, Alan Hooper and John Potter look at how changes affect people in businesses and organisations, using specific case studies of individuals. They draw on interviews with over 25 leaders who have made change work, and include cases of effective "change" organisations. They also reveal the five key aspects of effective "change leadership" and propose practical ways for leaders to provide effective leadership in a confusing and quickly changing work environment.
