Leading From Behind

A challenging book about the task facing business leaders as their companies head into the future. There is no way back. Change is everywhere in society, politics, business and it is turbulent. Existing structures are being dismantled and new ways of competing (and collaborating) are being formed. The only option is to be adaptive and to create the best from what is possible. This book tackles the change that every organization is subjected to, by offering a different leadership style. Its aim is to get the best from everybody, which requires a genuine people-centric approach. But it also involves shifting towards an agile way of working, where accountability and resources are delegated to people deep in the organization, so that they can focus on customer centricity, innovation and value creation. Contrarian but relevant, this book is essential reading for business leaders and managers who are seeking a better future for their organizations.
