Creating Leaderful Organizations: How to Bring Out Leadership in Everyone

Product Description
Leadership has traditionally resided in one person with many followers. This book presents a new model of mutual leadership, which transforms leadership from one individual’s responsibility into a new way of working for everyone. Creating Leaderful Organizations demonstrates the bottom-line benefits of this model, shows how it is already working in numerous companies, and offers guidance in implementation. Author Joseph Raelin explains how to distribute leadership roles; develop individuals to be leaders; deal with resistance; and achieve the “4 c’s of leaderful practice” — concurrent leadership, collective leadership, collaborative leaders, and compassionate leaders. Filled with examples from some of the most progressive companies in the world like Hewlett-Packard, UPS, Motorola, Harley-Davidson, and Dell Computer, this is a book that reinvents leadership for today’s lean organizations.
