John Kotter of the Harvard Business School is one of a number of experts who believe that organisations are over managed & under led at least partially because people do not appreciate the differences between management & leadership. We start this book by challenging mental models of leadership & management. Agility has become a prerequisite for organisations in a business environment that is characterised by change. Two trends in particular have been evident. First hierarchical systems of management are yielding to a new leadership movement which has at its core shared vision & individual empowerment in place of consistency & control. Second leadership is no longer the preserve of those in positions in the management hierarchy. Increasingly it is dispersed through the organisation.

Use contemporary concepts & theories to analyse your approach to management & leadership & to identify areas for development. ...
