To survive disruption, organizations need disruptive leaders.
So they hire them. And then they ¿re them.
It's the open secret everyone in the leadership industry knows but nobody is addressing: leadership culture is toxic, and leadership systems have failed. Publicly, organizations say they want leaders to be innovative thinkers who challenge the status quo. Privately, conventional leadership culture wants nothing of the sort. Leaders deemed as 'a bad culture ¿t' quickly ¿nd themselves marginalized, ostracized, and even exorcised. The qualities that get them hired are the ones that get them ¿red. Yet, these rebels and nonconformists often embody the very leadership qualities that organizations so desperately need to navigate disruption and adapt to the "new normal" of constant change.
Radically refreshing and practical, this book identi¿es ¿ve leadership qualities (F.I.R.E.D. Leadership(TM)) that are key to tomorrow's leadership success and öers a step-by-step blueprint to show organizations how to integrate these ¿ve crucial qualities into their current leadership identi¿cation, recruitment, onboarding, and development processes.
