Ruth Spellman advocates that, to bring about the changes necessary to move on in management and leadership, we need a different kind of business leadership. Leadership that is responsive to society's expectations and needs, that is capable of taking account of a much wider range of issues than most business leaders have considered in the past, and which encourages a leadership role to be taken on by people at all levels in an organisation. Especially at the most senior levels, leaders will need to have a much stronger value-set, and a much broader range of interests and skills, to be able to embrace the more complex issues that businesses will confront in future. There is a need to make sense of the economic crisis we are passing through and its implications for management and leadership, and for leaders and managers to understand the unique role they play in rebuilding the national economy, re-establishing organisational dynamism and growth, and supporting the personal growth and career development of individual managers and leaders. The book provides a vision and road-map for making sense of this new world as it affects management and leadership. It offers practical recommendations for adapting to the new circumstances and turning them to advantage. It focuses on the reasons for hope as well as the challenges. It will be a succinct book that takes the new economic and social circumstances of the post-recession world and examines the implications holistically for management and leadership, for government, employers and individuals alike, and provides practical guidance and illustrations on how to take forward the development challenge (whether national, organisational or for the individual leader or manager) that this represents.
