Description
This volume addresses out-of-the-box leadership challenges for top-performing 21st century organizations. The topics include: self leadership, teleleadership, interorganizational leadership, leadership networks; cognitively complex, behaviorally complex, and socially complex leadership as well as training and development, strategy and policy, organizational structures and processes. Out-of-the-box leadership is especially important in highly flexible, high-tech, electronically networked global organizations operating in volatile and ambiguous environments. The US Army is a prototypical example of such top-performing organizations and is therefore a major focus in this monograph.
