Leadership in Balance : New Habits of the Mind

Résumé : Leadership in Balance provides readers with a deeper understanding of the art, practice, and discipline of purpose-driven collaboration, and teaches them how new leadership habits of the mind will positively impact an organization's learning, growth, and change. Today's global society calls for new habits of the mind-a fundamental shift from emphasis on leadership in control to leadership in balance, and from a leader's way of behaving to a leader's way of thinking. In Leadership in Balance, proven experts Kucia and Gravett develop a unique self-assessment that captures a leader's balance across eight different ways of thinking related to Strategy (head), Culture (heart) and Leadership (hand). This instrument offers an image, a structure, and a purpose for leadership which creates the opportunity for individual learning and growth and for deeper and richer coaching conversations. Along with interviews with executives of successful international and global organizations, the authors also introduce and explain their methods and explore the leaders' ways of thinking and interpreting meaning in their organization Cover -- Title -- Copyright -- Contents -- List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction Leadership in Balance: New Habits of the Mind -- Part I Building the Fundamentals -- Chapter 1 Leader as Brand -- Chapter 2 A New Model of Leadership for a Living Organization -- Chapter 3 It's Time for a Different Leadership Paradigm -- Chapter 4 The Structure of the Ways of Leaders in Balance -- Chapter 5 The Power of Leadership in Balance: The Connection to an Organization's Survival -- Chapter 6 New Habits of the Mind: The Ways of a Leader in Balance -- Part II What Does It All Mean-Taking It to the Next Level -- Chapter 7 New Behaviors That Correlate to The Eight Ways of Thinking -- Chapter 8 The Kucia Balance Framework in Action -- Chapter 9 Learning from Mentors through The Eight Ways of Thinking -- Chapter 10 The Research Foundation for Leadership in Balance -- Chapter 11 The Fundamental Shift: Capstone Thoughts -- Appendix 1 Self-Assessment: A Leader in Balance-The Eight Ways of Thinking -- Appendix 2 Self-Assessment: A Leader in Balance-Short Form -- Appendix 3 ANOVA Results -- Notes -- Index -- About the Authors Résumé : Leadership in Balance provides readers with a deeper understanding of the art, practice, and discipline of purpose-driven collaboration, and teaches them how new leadership habits of the mind will positively impact an organization's learning, growth, and change.
