Description
“Focus on Leadership” ist eine Sammlung inspirierender Essays zum Thema Servant-Leadership im erwerbswirtschaftlich und nicht erwerbswirtschaftlich ttigen Unternehmensumfeld. Der Band diskutiert ausfhrlich, wie das Konzept der Servant-Leadership sich immer mehr an die Spitze des Fhrungsdenkens setzt. Ein Servant-Leader (Diener-Fhrungsperson) will anderen helfen, sie untersttzen und motivieren. Seine eigene Motivation schpft er aus der Frderung seiner Mitarbeiter. Mit einem Vorwort von Ken Blanchard und Beitrgen berhmter Experten auf diesem Gebiet, wie z.B. von Max DePree, Stephen Covey, Margaret Wheatley, John Bogle und Warren Bennis. Ausfhrlich errtert werden die einflussreichen und frischen Ideen, die aus der Servant-Leadership erwachsen sind, darunter das Konzept der Fhrung ohne Hierarchie, der Organisation im Wandel und der geteilten Verantwortung in einer globalen Umgebung.
