Opis

How do you convince cynical organisations or nations which have spiraled down under unscrupulous (defiant and compliant) leadership brands that redemption is possible in an increasingly decadent world? Don't tell them. Show them Using a live story, this book shows the essential factors that work together within the authentic and virtuous leadership paradigms to transform and indeed beautify any human entity, including organisations and nations. The plot of the main narrative of the book is located in an educational (university) setting; however, the applicability of its leadership insight is universal. Leadership is destiny. Everything rises, stands, and falls on it; but it is not as confusing, mysterious, or scary as many have held it up to be. You will find in this book discussions of the philosophies, behaviours and outcomes of various leadership paradigms that make the leadership phenomenon more accessible. The book also addresses the 'calling' dimension which forms the core of credibility for leading right. It illustrates with concrete examples how a leader can clarify a vision, set the true compass (values and principles) for upright operations, mobilise teams to develop a sense of ownership, get the job done according to specifications, leave lasting marks of global leadership on hearts - not just on sands of time, and then finish well (timely and in honour). With its down-to-earth portraits, the Audacity of Leading Right will challenge even the cynical or fatalist to embrace a radical redemptive agenda inherent specially in the virtuous leadership brand. How would you like to aim higher and righter as a transfigurational (beautifying) leader for your organisation or country? Check out this book.
