Beschreibung
The basic foundations of effective leadership, we are told, include decisiveness, strategic thinking and the ability to influence others. In fact there are a vast array of models that can tell us about the skills, qualities and behaviours that leaders need - but this is only half the story. As leaders rise to more senior levels, their roles become less about doing things that drive results and more about direction and supporting others to achieve the end goal. What if you could create an operating environment, or system, that empowers people to make decisions, speak up, challenge thinking and raise new ideas? Taking the analogy of an iPhone operating system, which is so well designed that even children intuitively know how to use them without ever being shown, this book presents a new way of thinking about leadership and gives you a clear model that captures this approach. With real life case studies, this book will help you to: · Create an OS system that is personal to you · Optimise your system to produce the best results · Become a high-performing leader · Get people to work together more effectively Based on years of original research, this book controversially attacks almost every existing leadership model and approach. Through case studies, insights and practical frameworks you will learn that leadership success is not about having the core capabilities, but about creating the right systems for your organization.
