The 'MisLeadership' of this book's title is a description of the
phenomenon the authors have uncovered through their analysis of the
validity, or otherwise, of current leadership styles and
achievements, in the light of the challenges leaders face, and
particularly of the urgent global issues with which business
leaders are now confronted. John Rayment and Jonathan Smith examine
existing approaches to leadership with a focus on their
shortcomings, categorized according to the four main types of
misLeadership the authors have identified - Missing, Misguided,
Misinformed and Machiavellian leadership. Each of these forms of
misleadership has a corollary in one of the four elements of the
kind of holistic leadership that the authors advocate - the
capacity for effective decision making, the adoption of a global
perspective, the move to a new business paradigm to replace the
current economic and social one, and commitment to a contemporary
mission. From Rayment and Smith's passionately argued, but well
reasoned perspective, leaders, the led and those responsible for
leadership development will gain an insight into the prevalence and
causes of misleadership and into ways in which it can be identified
and overcome. A range of examples and case studies is provided to
enable the concepts presented here to be related to practice. As
well as illustrating instances of 'misleadership' these also
demonstrate that the emphasis in relation to the decision making
models currently available to leaders may not be the most important
stages of the processes involved. The global perspective emphasized
by the authors is not just about globality in the geographical
sense. An important part of the way forward suggested here involves
considering all aspects of humanity - the physical, mental and
spiritual strength, stamina and fitness of individuals, groups and
societies, in the context of a 'Global Fitness Framework'. All this
is presented in a practical and approachable style that enables
these authors to introduce a new approach to a key element of
management thinking, in a way that will encourage and empower
individuals to think on a different scale, challenge assumptions
and exercise effective leadership.
