An exciting and effective new approach for leadership in all manner of settings
In Beyond the Leader, renowned organizational behaviorist and author Dr. Tony Bridwell delivers a startlingly insightful new take on leadership and followership. The author explains how the interplay of these two dynamics can optimize team performance. In the book, Bridwell introduces seven disciplines that elevate teams from mere efficacy to a state of continuous learning and improvement, innovation, and long-term success.
Bridwell describes the journey of a young man named Thomas, a first-time leader, as he meets and learns from Leah, a seasoned executive turned business professor. Under Leah's patient mentorship, Thomas learns how to embed learning, accountability, and adaptability into his team. Beyond the Leader also explores:
- How to apply the book's lessons to commercial organizations, families, communities, and other groups
- Practical insights and best practices for research-based, effective leadership that motivates all kinds of people
- Strategies for optimizing your team's behavior to create sustainable, high-performance organizations
Perfect for managers, executives, and other business leaders, Beyond the Leader is also a must-read for anyone interested in improving their own ability to lead, motivate, and inspire the people around them—personally, professionally, and organizationally.
