Network Leadership enables readers to identify and make the most of informal social and organisational networks in order to challenge the status quo effectively and facilitate greater engagement and productivity. This book is invaluable reading for those who have mastered the basics of leadership but wish to take the next steps.

Recenzje

"We only truly grow up when we know what it is to be fully human. In our hands we are being given technology tools that are transforming what we can do and how we grow. But just because we can do it, doesn't make it good for us. The world needs leaders who thrive on living in this tension and use tools for growing transparency of truth. That's good for all of us."

- Ruth Dearnley OBE, CEO STOP THE TRAFFIK

"Mike and James have produced a timely gem of a handbook for leaders at all levels. Leading amidst the profound shifts in how we live, work and relate to one another demands we evolve how we lead and Network Leadership shows us how."

- Neil Ventura, Executive Vice President, Strategy & Innovation (De Beers Group)

 

"In Network Leadership, James and Mike connect the dots beautifully in laying out what it means to be an agile and resilient leader in a rapidly changing world. I hope that you will find in Network Leadership, tangible ideas to help you elegantly navigate your networks and galvanise action towards the change you believe in."

- Demi Edosomwan, Managing Director, TotalEnergies Ventures
