The Deep Blue Sea: Rethinking the Source of Leadership

Wilfred Drath

Bill Drath stellt ein neues, revolutionäres Führungsmodell vor, das auf dem Prinzip des sog. "Relational Leadership" basiert. Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Vorstellungen persönlicher Führung versteht man unter "Relational Leadership" nicht die Führung im Besitz eines Einzelnen, sondern Führen als Gemeinschaftsaufgabe, denn effektive Führung ist in erster Linie eine Gemeinschaftsaktivität. Anhand einer fiktiven Geschichte verdeutlicht Drath die Entwicklung des Führungsgedankens bis hin zum "Relational Leadership". Dadurch wird verständlich, warum eine neue Konzeption des Führens notwendig ist, um die Probleme des 21. Jahrhunderts erfolgreich zu meistern. Wilfred Drath ist Mitarbeiter des anerkannten Center for Creative Leadership und an den neuesten Forschungaktivitäten zum Thema "Leadership" beteiligt.

Praise for this book

"Bill Drath takes us out along the frontiers of leadership theory and gives us a new and even courageous answer to the age-old question: who is the leader and who are the led? A great read for those who want to move beyond ordinary thinking about leadership." (Jack Galvin, former Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (NATO) and Commander-in-Chief U.S. European Command)
"A penetrating analysis of the roots of leadership from one of the most original thinkers in the field." (David K. Hurst, speaker, writer, and consultant on management and author of Crisis and Renewal: Meeting the Challenge of Organizational Change)
"Changes forever the way we look at and consider leadership. The magnitude of Bill Drath's contribution is only realized when you start to ask yourself what are the implications of relational leadership on how we develop leaders, evolve organization strategy, and drive change?"
