Leadership is a critical factor in enabling any organization to adapt to its environment through implementing strategy, thereby surviving and thriving. This book takes research from a diverse range of fields on human behavior and distills it down into three themes in which leadership behavior is vital. The author labels these three themes Intentions, Influence, and Information, and their typical actions are described and illustrated by examples. Readers are taught how to achieve common purposes, collective decisions, and credible results. It is aimed not only at executives but all managers responsible for implementing strategy, including their advisors in areas like HR, IT, Quality and Finance. It is applicable to organizations large and small, in the private sector, public sector, and not-for-profit.Author Tom Barker.
