Taking a complexity theory perspective, this book explores the key factor that sustains them: leadership.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book examines how leadership is currently understood primarily from a systems based perspective, as an attribute of the individual, the leadership role being to articulate values, missions and visions and then persuade others to adhere to them. It argues for a new view of ethics as co-created through identity and difference, representing the end of 'business ethics' as we know it today. Areas considered include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003erisk and conflict\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003espontaneity and motivation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the past we have focused on the choices of individual leaders. In today's highly complex organizations we are now coming to understand the nature of leadership as self-organizing and, as such, closely linked to ethics. This means that we can no longer understand ethics simply as centered rational choice in planning and action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415249163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415249164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.52h x 6.36w x 0.77d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Douglas Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44190550556927,"sku":"9780415249164","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_989f7eba-c278-49a8-8041-eee21734c9c6.jpg?v=1690871143","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-emergence-of-leadership-douglas-griffin-9780415249164","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
