Description

Leadership agility is the master competency needed for sustained success in today’s complex, fast-paced business environment. Richly illustrated with stories based on original research and decades of work with clients, this groundbreaking book identifies five levels that leaders move through in developing their agility. Significantly, only ten percent have mastered the level of agility needed for consistent effectiveness in the turbulent era of global competition.

Written in an engaging, down-to-earth style, Leadership Agility is your personal guide to leadership agility in action. After describing the essential competencies of agile leaders, Bill Joiner and Stephen Josephs use real-life stories and examples to provide a clear road map that shows you how to bring these competencies to new levels. Reading this book will confirm your best instincts and introduce you to new forms of leadership currently practiced by only a small percentage of highly agile leaders.
