The Cult of the Leader: A Manifesto for More Authentic Business
Rating: 0 out of 5 stars
()
About this ebook
A critical look at the way that business leadership has gone so badly wrong.
Modern business is obsessed with leaders. We talk about leadership all the time, but its real meaning is becoming more and more obscure. Recent corporate crises have shown that all too often, our leaders are missing in action when we need them most. In this groundbreaking and provocative new book, Chris Bones shows how we need to:
- Restore trust and confidence
- Be more realistic about what leaders can and can't do
- Redefine talent
- Revalue experience
- Reconsider remuneration
