Recommendation

Modern leaders interact with their employees, customers and other stakeholders to fuel profit, growth and loyalty and to exercise influential leadership. Often they communicate by connecting through various social media and Internet tools. Drawing from research with leaders worldwide, consultant Simon Hayward explains how to achieve connectivity and exercise the leadership it requires by following a five-part framework: “purpose and direction, authenticity, devolved decision making, collaborative achievement” and “agility.” This organized strategy is designed to help leaders function effectively in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world. getAbstract recommends Hayward’s manual and his concept that “connected leadership” fosters connected organizations.

Take-Aways

  • Today’s leaders and organizations operate in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) environment.
  • This environment calls for “connected leadership” that shares power and agendas.
  • Connected leaders understand events and trends in their organizations as well as in the outside world.

    Nice summary... I think this 5 elements framework is incomplete... The Leadership circle is much more solid for example..
