Book excerpt: Managing Leadership is an essential guide to understanding what organizational leadership really is and how to harness it to the service of today's organizations. Author Jim Stroup brings to the topic of organizational leadership over 30 years of experience as a student of and participant in leadership in military, civilian, and governmental organizations around the world. In a compellingly drawn argument, Stroup provides a clear and actionable solution to the leadership crisis facing the owners, directors, and managers of contemporary organizations. Learn why today's concept of individual leadership has to be scrapped: § It places on "leaders" untenable burdens that irresistibly lead to isolation, loss of direction--and disloyalty. § It represents the surrender of our organizations, their owners and stakeholders to the "leaders" and their "vision". § Managers must regain control of today's organizations in all fields. Discover how to: § Properly understand what leadership in an organization really is. § Manage leadership as a resource like any other in the organization. § Guide today's organizations out of the individual leadership crisis and into the intelligent management of leadership. Managing Leadership will show owners and managers how to take back control of their organizations and direct them with effective, no-nonsense managerial integrity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connective Leadership describes a new leadership model that the author feels is essential for coping with the competing trends of global interdependence and increasing diversity which are rendering all leadership styles obsolete. Connective leadership emphasises collaboration over authoritarianism, and the creation of short term coalitions instead of long-term political and business alliances. Using extensive research analysing the leadership styles of more than 5,000 leaders and managers world-wide, Lipman-Blumen has developed an innovative nine-part strategy for flourishing within the demands of interorganisational relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managers today are faced with numerous complex challenges speckled with paradoxes. They must have a sharp economical focus while simultaneously engaging in creative and innovative thinking. They must support individuals as well as teams, think globally, and do business locally. This book views complexity as a fundamental element of leadership, rather than something that should simply be reduced and removed. It presents a leadership concept that includes both sides of the paradox. Managing Leadership Paradoxes uses case studies and practical exercises to show how managers can maintain decisiveness in the face of paradoxes, complexities, and contradictory demands. Lotte Lüscher draws on research gleaned from managers within the international corporation, Lego, to provide first-hand knowledge of how a large-scale organization meets and manages change paradoxes, rather than treating them as something that needs to be reduced and removed. It will assist managers and aspiring managers in expanding their understanding of leadership challenges beyond dilemmas, and equip them with the managerial skills to handle the most persistent and pervasive paradoxical challenges that arise as a result of organizational change. The book will be of interest to leaders and managers, as well as students of leadership, management and organizational studies.The intent is to provide the reader with a foundation for reflecting on his or her own leadership practice with special focus on organizational complexity, ambiguity, and paradoxes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A clash between the ideology of growth and the growth of ideas, between control and creativity, between measurement and the immeasurable, between predictability and the fickle muses of inspiration in engulfing our boardrooms. In this scathing swipe at the institutionalised idiocy that is stifling creativity just at the time the world needs it most Gordon Torr draws from the leading lights of creativity research to demolish the myths that surround the generation of ideas in the modern organisation. The curse of the brainstorm, the commoditisation of creative talent, the deskilling of the imagination, the startling inadequacies of management theory – these and the many other horrors of idea-assassination that run rampant in creative sector companies are dissected and disembowelled in this hilarious expose of the drama that unfolds every time a new idea slides across the boardroom table. This book sets out to address the black hole that surrounds the management of creative people, debunking many myths of creativity, and outlining a revolutionary approach to the pressing issue of creative productivity in the contemporary creative sector company. A handbook of tools, techniques, methods and practical ideas whose USP is a framework for thinking about efficient creative management – how to extract value from creative time. Gordon Torr presents a logical argument that puts in place the building blocks of the author’s knowledge and experience towards the final architecture. “We need them as never before. And we know that they’re somehow different. Yet the productive management of creative people is an almost totally neglected science. I doubt if there’s a single industry that wouldn’t gain immediate advantage from Gordon Torr’s scrupulous and enlightening detective work.” - Jeremy Bullmore

Book excerpt: Abstract: A behavioral view of leadership is presented. Managers are usually viewed as either commonsense, practical individuals or as guardians of human satisfaction at work. Individuals take for granted the action and dynamism needed to perform first-rate managerial work. Understanding of behavioral skills assists practicing managers to comprehend organizational pressures, allocate energies among competing demands, and relate organizational work flow requirements to both management controls and personality differences. Specific topics included are based on formal and informal studies and cover: 1) The expectation and reality of the managerial world; 2) an overview of managerial work; 3) authority; 4) commitment and motivation; 5) lateral relations; 6) organizational power gains, struggles and status ; 7) work within the hierarchy; 8) types, use and design of controls; 9) facilitating organizational change; 10) project management skills; 11) managerial personalities.
