Leadership U

Más información sobre el libro

Leadership is fundamentally about inspiring others to believe and enabling that belief to become reality. In "Leadership U: Accelerating Through the Crisis Curve," Gary Burnison emphasizes that effective leadership is not about the leader but about those they lead. As he notes, the next two years will likely bring more change than the past two decades combined. He presents a framework called the “Six Degrees of Leadership” to guide leaders in creating meaningful change. The framework includes: 1. **Anticipate** - Foreseeing challenges amid unprecedented ambiguity. 2. **Navigate** - Course-correcting in real time to maintain stability. 3. **Communication** - Connecting consistently, where the leader embodies both the message and the messenger. 4. **Listen** - Breaking down hierarchies to gather insights from all levels, especially the uncomfortable truths. 5. **Learn** - Cultivating agility to respond effectively when faced with the unknown. 6. **Lead** - Empowering a nimble, innovative culture from the bottom up. Embracing these principles allows leaders to master the “crisis curve” that disrupts the business landscape. The world has irrevocably changed, and while nostalgia for the past is understandable, leaders must adapt to the present. As Burnison asserts, when faced with closed doors, leaders must choose to either find a new path or give up. "Leadership U" inspires a proactive approach to navigating these challenges.
