Since its publication, Complex Adaptive Leadership has become a
Gower bestseller that has been taught in corporate leadership
programmes, business schools and universities around the world to
high acclaim. In this updated paperback edition, Nick Obolensky
argues that leadership should not be something only exercised by
nominated leaders. It is a complex dynamic process involving all
those engaged in a particular enterprise. The theoretical
background to this lies in complexity science and chaos theory -
spoken and written about in the context of leadership for the last
20 years, but still little understood. We all seem intuitively to
know leadership 'isn't what it used to be' but we still cling to
old assumptions which look anachronistic in changing and
challenging times. Nick Obolensky has practised, researched and
taught leadership in the public, private and voluntary sectors. In
this exciting book he brings together his knowledge of theory, his
own experience, and the results of 19 years of research involving
2,500 executives in 40 countries around the world. The main
conclusion from that research is that the more complex things
become, the less traditional directive leadership is needed. Those
operating in the real world, nonetheless, need ways of coping. The
book is focused on helping practitioners struggling to interpret
and react to increasingly VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex,
Ambiguous) times. The book will particularly appeal to
practitioners wishing to improve their leadership effectiveness as
well as for students and researchers in the field of leadership.
