Download Leadership for a Fractured World: How to Cross Boundaries, Build Bridges, and Lead Change AudioBook Free
Leaders today - whether in companies or organizations, nonprofits, or countries - face large, messy, multidimensional problems. No one person or group can possibly solve them; they might need the broadest possible co-operation. But, says Harvard scholar Dean Williams, our command models are still essentially tribal: individuals with formal expert leading in the interest of their own group. In this particular deeply-needed new audiobook he describes a strategy that enables market leaders to transcend interior and external restrictions and help people to collaborate, even people over whom they theoretically have no electric power. Sketching on what he's discovered from many years of employed in countries and organizations throughout the world, Williams shows market leaders how to approach the fragile and creative work of boundary spanning, whether those restrictions are social, organizational, political, geographic, spiritual, or structural. Sometimes market leaders themselves need to be the ones who cross the restrictions between groupings. Other times, a leader's job is to create relational bridges between divided groupings or to completely breakdown the restrictions that block collaborative problem fixing. By thinking about power and expert in different ways, leaders will become genuine change brokers, able to heal wounds, resolve issues, and bring a fractured world alongside one another.
