Unleashing leaders

"Most large organizations in the world try to develop leaders through training, be it in-house programmes or external courses. In this new book, Hilarie Owen shows us that the sort of training available is not necessarily working. Leadership is a personal journey, and training courses alone are limited in their effectiveness, especially when individuals have to return to organizations where the structure, culture and rigid processes do not allow them to 'be leaders'.". "This book offers a way forward where organizations will be able to transform themselves to become places where the potential of existing leaders and 'would-be' leaders can be expressed. Hilarie Owen outlines a holistic model, containing seven interconnecting actions that will help organizations transform to be adaptable to leaders. The outcome, if an organization follows this model, is a unique 'web structure' as opposed to the traditional hierarchies or organizations. The web structure in an organization promotes productivity and the release of an individual's potential."--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: During the last five years many organizations have realized that management isn't good enough and that they do not have the necessary leadership capability throughout to achieve the best in a fast-changing, global world.
