Orientation for Leaders

The increase in volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity in business and society is confronting many managers with the question of which skills they need to adapt or relearn to act effectively as managers in the future. The authors show you that the key to this does not lie in the learning of new management concepts. On the contrary, effective leadership is much more about homing in and focusing on what has not changed, namely the core attitudes and patterns of action inherent in human beings. Content: - Leadership as a transformation process - A basic framework of patterns of action as a basis for effective leadership and personality growth - Morality as the inner orientation and basis for economically sustainable leadership - Courage as a catalyst
