Whereas most of the leadership literature has focused on direct,
interpersonal leadership, few researchers have examined indirect
leadership or the leadership of organizations. Of course, direct,
personal leadership plays an important role at all levels of the
organization. However, we focus here on how leaders use strategy,
structures, and systems to create the conditions that stimulate
others to meaningfully contribute to the overarching goals of the
organization. We therefore explore the role of the strategic leader
as an architect. In this role as strategic architect, we examine
how top-level leaders create organizations wherein leadership is
developed, knowledge is created and disseminated, meaning is shaped
and shared, and where the vision cascades to all corners of the
organization. We also explore the darker side of leader discretion
to show the deleterious consequences of leader power. Finally, we
examine the complex nature of organizations and the roles of
leaders in adapting the organization to the environment in which it
operates.
The six major sections in this book coincide with these aspects of
the leaders architectural focus. The first chapter in each section
provides a short theoretical introduction. Following the theory
chapters are application chapters, highlighting the practical
implications of the theory with real-life examples. The sixth
section explores the relationship between complexity theory and
strategic leadership.
