Leaders in Transition
Leaders in Transition brings a new perspective on why some leaders succeed more than others when taking charge of an organisation. Based on in-depth case studies, in which four new leaders and their teams in large and complex international organisations were tracked for over a year, this book uncovers that success in managing transition is directly related to leaders' ability to balance tensions appropriately to the context.
The reasons for each leader's effectiveness are explored and analysed, allowing the authors to extrapolate some general conclusions about the ways in which these tensions reveal themselves during all leadership transitions. Evidently, the success or failure of a new leader is the result of the way multiple actors (the new leader, his or her boss, his organisation and its stakeholders) behave before and during the taking charge. These multiple interactions are revealed and discussed.
The reader will find in the book a rich description of the main elements which he or she can learn to combine and balance in ways that are appropriate for the context and which will enable greater mastery of the transitional phase of leadership.
