Stanford Business Books | 2010 | ISBN: 0804763429, 0804774676 | 232 pages | PDF
Leading Culture Change: What Every CEO Needs To Know is a practical guide for top leaders who are faced with the challenge of shaping their culture to create long term, sustainable value. Culture is changeable—but only with CEO sponsorship and a methodical, best practices approach.

Author Christopher S. Dawson draws on 25 years of experience as an organizational consultant in a variety of industries to delineate five critical success factors, without which culture change is unlikely to occur. He offers practical tools and approaches to facilitate culture change, in addition to an overall framework that acts as a yardstick for seasoned and new top leaders. The book pres a "red-yellow-green" level of urgency tool for determining the degree of organizational effort required to address the gap between strategy and culture; a roadmap for culture change; and more.

After describing how to effect change, the text describes frequent scenarios, pring guidelines, an in-depth case example, and lessons for top leaders. Finally, the book outlines four essential leadership competencies—dual-horizon vision; self-awareness; team leadership; and source of inspiration—based on the requirements for leaders of any transformation.

This book is an ideal guide for today and tomorrow's top leaders—as well as a valuable supplement to management consultants' and human resource executives' professional training.

The Leaderful Fieldbook: Strategies and Activities for Developing Leadership in Everyone

Nicholas Brealey Publishing | 2010 | ISBN: 0891063803, 0891063889 | 224 pages | PDF
The Global Economy--the flattened networked world--demands a new type of leadership: one that is collective and collaborative, where solutions and vision are co-created by everyone. Although generously depicted in the author's Creating Leaderful Organizations, the practical application of collective leadership remains a mystery to many practicing executives and managers.

It is evident that the development of leaderful organizations cannot happen overnight; in fact, we need agents to emerge to help us learn how to change longstanding regressive organizational cultures into more leaderful communities. When we say "leaderful," we refer to leadership practices that are collective and concurrent - people can serve as leaders all together and at the same time.

This fieldbook is designed for these change agents - coaches, facilitators, OD consultants, and weavers - wishing to embark with their clients on a leaderful journey across a range of levels - from individual to network - and adopting a style of collective engagement that matches the democratic processes that they are seeking to produce. The Leaderful Fieldbook presents the most practical of recommendations in the form of an array of exercises that can be adopted immediately across these multiple levels of experience. It also features a set of cases that demonstrate the use of the exercises in each of these levels - individual, interpersonal, team, organizational, and social network.
