- User-friendly diagnostic tools to help executives increase their effectiveness and make connections
- Based on new Hay Group research and international case studies, relates theory to leadership styles of historical figures such as Churchill and Charles de Gaulle
'Occasionally a management book is published which triggers a paradigm shift in business philosophy. The Connected Leader is such a book. Emmanuel Gobillot has written the first leadership book of the myspace generation. Everyone from business leaders to politicians via public servants will benefit from reading it.'
Claire Mason, CEO, Man Bites Dog
Traditional organizational boundaries limit our ability to deliver results. The Connected Leader argues that many of the old leadership recipes are outdated and don't take into account changes in the work environment and informal social networks within the organization. Taking a new approach to leadership theory, Emmanuel Gobillot (a senior director at Hay Group) argues that modern leaders engage with employees and improve performance by building on trust, giving meaning to workplace relationships and creating dialogue within the organization. This book provides diagnostic tools for readers to evaluate their own skills and directly relate the insights from the book to their own situation.
