Technology, global economics, and demographics are colluding to create workspaces that thrive on communities rather than hierarchies. Our industrial paradigm with its roots in the military is swiftly being replaced by a paradigm based on networks that are held together by passion and social connections, and fueled by instantaneous interactions between members of communities. This new paradigm is creating a massive impact on how we think about successful leadership and how we develop leaders. We have found that this shift involves thinking of leaders more as Mayors and less as Generals. The Social Leader structures a new approach to leadership and provides tools for leaders to understand themselves in this new era of connectedness and community. Authors Frank Guglielmo and Sudhanshu Palshule describe and explain the five new imperatives of leadership, the Tenets of Social Leadership, illustrating ways for leaders and would-be leaders to reimagine their personal narratives and their leadership capabilities.
"Best for those in leadership positions or those who aspire to be who would like to learn more about collaborative and open leadership styles." --Library Journal "The Social Leader makes a compelling case for redefining how we think about leadership today. The demand to lead with passion, purpose, and authenticity has never been greater." --Andrea Jung, president and CEO of Grameen America, and former chairman and CEO of Avon Products "Sudhanshu and Frank bring a fresh and much needed perspective to leadership in this great read."--Mike Canning, CEO, Duke Corporate Education "Social systems now rule the world ... everyone and everything is connected ... socially. Learn to be a networked, community-focused leader from two of the best." --Don E. Schultz, Professor Emeritus-in-Service, Northwestern University, and president, Agora, Inc. "This insightful book is incredibly useful for leaders who find themselves straddling the disparate logics of the past with today's social world." --Narayan Pant, the Raoul de Vitry d'Avaucourt Chaired Professor of Leadership Development, INSEAD "Not only timely but also critical for anyone in any leadership role in any group of people!" --Anton Musgrave, futurist and business strategist
