The Key Leader Ali Kursun

The changing nature of leadership is the focus of this book, providing insight into the new traits and characteristics that key leaders need to meet today's challenges in an increasingly competitive market. The evolution of management roles in all entities - whether profit or nonprofit - demands new skills and talent to promote long-term growth and viability in an uncertain economic environment. Leadership in this challenging arena demands not only relevant experience, expertise, and knowledge, but also transparency and new perceptions in how leaders relate to the people with whom they interact - peers, colleagues, employees, shareholders, and community members. In conjunction with this requirement is the recognition of the need to hire the right leaders who meet the organisation's needs, as well as the right talent at all levels who will engage with leaders and support their strategic efforts. In highlighting the new face of leadership, this book provides practical points for maximising returns through a logical partnership among key stakeholders in any organisation.
