The authors explore the flaws in traditional leadership and offer a framework for a set of management principles relating to self-management, empowerment and the freedom to operate. By sewing back the schism between the corporate persona and the authentic self and re-framing the role of management, this book helps professionals find meaning at work.
Creating Authentic Organizations works beyond the limited remit of authentic leadership and shows how this concept can and should be applied to a workforce to enhance innovation, productivity and adaptability. With models and strategies, it explains how to ensure more authentic dialogue between employees to both discuss smaller issues and have open and meaningful discussion around threats and challenges.
