Emergence: The Natural Process of Becoming a Leader (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798385025473)

"Leaders are not simply born or made; they emerge" The emerging generation of leaders requires a fresh and innovative model of leadership, as they have become disillusioned by organization leaders from the private sector to the public sector and even non-profits. The next generation of leaders operates from a different context and brings a unique set of experiences to the workplace compared to those currently in positions of authority. They approach problem-solving from a worldview informed by technological savvy; they are undaunted by the rapid pace of change and are poised to disrupt established industries and processes. To ignore the needs and potential of these emerging leaders is to do so at your peril. They are the majority in the workforce, and they are already in positions of leadership. Enter emergence - a completely different way of thinking about leadership that challenges traditional models and redefines our understanding of what it means to lead. Unlike conventional leadership thinking, emergence does not prioritize traits or characteristics, but instead focuses on talented individuals who rise out of obscurity to showcase authentic leadership when the moment demands it. This approach aligns well with the expectations of millennial leaders who seek organic and flexible leadership models that allow for effective leadership without the constraints of hierarchy. It is imperative for organizations to invest in the development of these emerging leaders and reconsider their strategies for leadership succession. Leaders are not simply born or made; they emerge. They emerge naturally when given the right environment and opportunities to thrive. By preparing the way for the next generation of leaders and embracing the principles of emergence, organizations can pave a path for sustained success and competitive advantage. This book serves as a valuable resource for emerging leaders and the executives tasked with guiding and developing them, providing insights and strategies to help unlock their full potential and prepare them for the dynamic challenges of the future.
