Beschreibung

It's estimated that U.S. companies spend over $14 billion annually on leadership development --Match that number to the abundant and growing research that finds most leadership development to be ineffective, and the conclusion is a phenomenal amount of waste. The remedy for this situation is to have business strategy drive leadership development instead of creating programs that match a one-size-fits-all approach to leadership. This book's approach, called Strategy-Driven Leadership Development (SDLD), puts business strategy first. It maintains an emphasis on building leadership programs around what it will take to make the business successful as opposed to implementing a program in the hopes that it will benefit the strategy.

The result is a differentiated and targeted approach called Intentional Leadership Development, which provides the structure for transforming how leadership development is undertaken. At the heart of this book, however, is the explanation of how small, incremental changes in action and perspective create meaningful changes in the way leadership is developed. The focus is on the leadership behaviors associated with success for any company. Some companies may need leaders with better financial acumen while others may require better teamwork for success. These skills are learnable and when the energy of an organization is behind it, then leadership development can be transformational.

The authors method "retools" prior leadership efforts - the emphasis is not on previous failures and restarting with new programs. There are many effective ideas and actions that are currently embedded in leadership programs, but they miss the critical element of tying their efforts to the business strategy.

Strategy-Driven Leadership changes the way organizations think about and drive their leadership talent initiatives among their current and upcoming leaders. The book is filled with research, science-based information, case studies, and practical hands-on tools on why and how this Strategy-Driven Leadership Development model will transform company leadership approaches.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"In Strategy-Driven Leadership, Michael and Richard mark the route that every leader can take to assume the mantle of building that next generation for their business. Theirs is an insightful, practical and evidenced-based approach to developing the leaders our society needs now and in the future!"

Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times #1 bestselling author of Triggers, Mojo, and What Got You Here Won't Get You There Thinkers 50 #1 Executive Coach for 10 years

"Too often there's a gap between what leadership development programs promise and what they actually deliver. Thank goodness, then, for Couch and Citrin. They begin with your organization's business strategy, build skills through actual experiences, and give readers an evidence-based process that delivers results. "

Daniel H. Pink, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Boston Globe, and Amazon #1 bestselling author of WHEN, DRIVE, and TO SELL IS HUMAN

"This book is a welcome sign of the times, addressing globalization, coaching, technology, and the integration of strategy. It is not, thankfully, a book of labels, and behavioral predictions, and cute descriptors of one's demeanor, which I find degrading and useless. Instead, it's a very thoughtful book for the mature leader to assess future conditions, needs, and new, potential leaders. It doesn't replace human judgment but rather augments it with solid methodology for assessment and selection. . . . Couch and Citrin have certainly gained my respect with this insightful work.

Read this book, apply it, and watch how your company grows."

Dorie Clark, Author of Reinventing You, Entrepreneurial You and Stand Out, Executive Education Faculty, Duke University Fuqua School of Business

"Strategy-Driven Leadership is a must read for anyone who is interested in finding a research based practical approach to build the leadership muscle of a team, a division or an entire enterprise. Richard and Michael have developed a robust theoretical framework but perhaps even more importantly they go beyond just a framework and actually provide the tools to deploy this unique framework to grow the talent of the emerging leaders in a way that synchronizes with the strategic intent of your company."

Aradhna Malhotra Oliphant, President and CEO, Leadership Pittsburgh Inc.
