Samenvatting

Written by David Dotlich and Peter Cairo–– two of the country′s top executive coaches and educators–– Unnatural Leadership debunks the common notion of the natural leader as a flawless figure. The book describes the truth about being a real leader in a business environment turned upside down by e–commerce, diversity, security concerns, globalization, and matrix structures. Drawing on personal experience working with successful leaders in top–tier companies throughout the world, Dotlich and Cairo identify a style of leadership used by those who succeed in complicated business and people situations, a style that maximizes a leader′s strengths and acknowledges weaknesses.
