John Kotter of the Harvard Business School is one of a number of
experts who believe that organisations are over managed and under
led, at least partially because people do not appreciate the
differences between management and leadership. We start this book
by challenging mental models of leadership and management. Agility
has become a prerequisite for organisations in a business
environment that is characterised by change. Two trends in
particular have been evident. First hierarchical systems of
management are yielding to a new leadership movement which has at
its core shared vision and individual empowerment in place of
consistency and control. Second, leadership is no longer the
preserve of those in positions in the management hierarchy.
Increasingly it is dispersed through the organisation. By
developing awareness of these and other influential trends, those
who have a responsibility for leading and managing in some form
will be better equipped to flex their style and to play the diverse
roles required of the managerial leader in contemporary
organisations.
