Recommendation

Leadership and innovation consultants Prasad Kaipa and Navi Radjou present a method that can add depth and dimension to your leadership capabilities in six areas. They explain the differences between “functional-smart” leaders who operate in the “blue zone” and “business-smart” leaders who operate in the “red zone.” Noting that each type has its strengths and limitations, Kaipa and Radjou explain why neither compares to the wise leader who embodies the best of both, and then some. Their manual includes a self-assessment test, a guided program for embarking on your journey toward wise leadership and examples of leaders who personify wisdom. While noting that many of their concepts are tried-and-true, getAbstract humbly suggests that this concise, highly motivational book might help you find the wisdom you seek.

Take-Aways

  • Some leaders are “business smart” and operate in the “red zone.”
  • Others are “functional smart”; they operate in the “blue zone.”
  • Though viable, the personal-gain aspect of both leadership styles makes them inadequate to the needs of 21st-century enterprises. Better to be a wise leader.
