As society rapidly increases in complexity, we are in great need of
sustainable leadership in accord with beliefs and values as we
experience continuous changes. The Courage to Lead through Values:
How Management by Values Supports Transformational Leadership,
Culture, and Success is about having the courage to lead through
the implementation of agreed-upon values. In addition, it's about
the courage it takes to never cease doing this. However, it's not
enough to simply be aware of the importance of constantly working
with values and ethics - effective leadership based on values and
ethics means taking the time to actually do it. This book tackles
this issue by providing you with clear examples of how to implement
incorporating values and ethics in your everyday leadership. In
business, you face challenges when you must choose between
efficiency, analysis of results, and goals versus actively working
on values and ethics. This book will argue that one doesn't need to
compete with the other and it posits that one supports the other.
As the world is rapidly growing in complexity and we are facing new
challenges and expectations, we must find ways to achieve
sustainable lives, businesses, and societies. The author strongly
believes that values are the key. By using the methodology
Management by Values (MBV), under the mentorship of its founder,
Professor Simon L. Dolan, the book is well-anchored in research.
Ten years ago, a new school was founded in a medium-sized town in
Sweden -- Internationella Engelska Skolan Sundsvall. It started
with a staff of 20 and 250 students. Today the staff has grown to
120 members with nearly 1100 students attending. In 2019, it was
considered one of the best schools in Sweden. The principal, Pascal
Brisson, in many ways epitomizes the school and its success.
Through in-depth interviews with the principal and colleagues,
previous staff, executives within the organization and students,
the author amassed information to provide a factual and engaging
story of the school's journey from a leadership perspective. It
becomes clear how implementing shared values and the principal's
courage to never stop actively working with values as a management
tool is a recipe for the success of an organization. The book
invites you into a conversation about leadership. It includes the
author's personal reflections on historical management methodology
and on challenges of today. As you follow the ten-year journey of a
successful leader in one of our society's most complex
organizations, a school, you do this in the light of Management by
Values. Essentially, this book gives the reader concrete tools and
examples of how to use values as a management tool. This is told
through several different themes relevant to all organizations --
organizational culture, creating teams, inspiring motivation, and
handling stress.
