The Jungle Book of Leadership

This book describes a new model of leadership - the Leadership-Map -, that helps executive managers to navigate the intricacies and complexity of their executive functions. From her 20 years of experience Ruth Seliger has learned that leadership is more a question of organization than personality, which is why established ideas of what to do or not to do as an executive are short-sighted and often misleading. The introductory part of the book outlines the specific dilemmas and challenges of leadership and establishes a basis in systems theory. This is followed by a presentation of the main dimensions of leadership according to the practice, profession and process of leadership. Finally, the author points out the latest developments in Positive Leadership. Like a good map, the book is very practice and numerous case examples, many charts, exercises and tests present a vivid image of the complex material. Ruth Seliger, Dr., studied Pedagogy, Economic and Social History, Philosophy; 1986 foundation of Train Consulting; has been an executive partner ever since. Training in Systemic Consulting, Appreciative Inquiry, and large group methods.
