Synopsis

A Multidimensional Approach to LeadershipTop-down, one-dimensional leadership models are hopelessly outmoded in today's rapidly changing world, and they waste the leadership ability that is present throughout an organization. In this visionary book, Karen and Henry Kimsey-House provide a model that harnesses the possibility of many rather than relying on the power of one. Their revolutionary five-dimensional approach recognizes that leadership has to be fluid and flexible and that the roles leaders and followers play must shift to suit the situation. Co-Active Leadership invites all of us to share our expertise and allows collaborative solutions to emerge that would never have been possible otherwise.

Part of that, I admit, is because it was the only audio book I had saved on my phone at the time and I had a lot of commuting to do, but more of that is because *I really found what it had to say useful......more

Goodreads review by Michele

I really liked this short little "leadership" book. Yes, it IS a leadership book, but one I think everyone should read so don't be put off by the title. This is an important non-traditional way to look at leadership. The authors' model contains 5 facets: Leader Within, Leader in Front, Leader Behind......more
