This thought-provoking and timely book asserts that the dichotomy
between leaders and managers described in much business literature
fails to recognize how the two roles overlap. The book discusses
techniques for senior executives based on history and neuroscience
to enhance their "managerial leadership" in different environments.
The ethical dilemmas of directors and executives are explored, with
lessons from both leadership failures and successes. The Principles
and Practice of Effective Leadership redefines "leadership" as a
morally neutral activity, reflecting the impact of strategic,
cultural and operational contexts on a leader's effectiveness. The
authors suggest there are universal but morally neutral techniques
for effective leadership that depend on the context in which they
are practiced. In Part 1, the careers and personalities of
historical figures including Elizabeth Tudor, Napoleon, and Ataturk
are examined. Part 2 deliberates on why leadership cannot be
separated from effective management and concludes that leadership
is managerial, and best encapsulated in the concept of
"wayfinding." In Part 3, the authors discuss the techniques
"wayfinders" can learn to be both effective and ethical, using a
simple and practical framework. This insightful book is essential
reading for professionals, coaches, consultants, and academics
interested in techniques and ethics of leadership and executive
education.
