Overview
Discover a more agile, democratic, and effective model of leadership. Legendary organizational scholar Edgar Schein and former Silicon Valley executive Peter Schein say leadership today requires that people transcend their hierarchical roles and relate to each other as human beings--what they call humble leadership. In such relationships, new ideas can flow freely, mistakes can come to light immediately, and course corrections can be made in real time rather than ""by committee"" or by order of the lone heroic CEO. This second edition includes three new chapters. Chapter one zeros in on the Schein's actionable definition of leadership--relative to management and administration--focused on leading people toward ""new and better."" Chapter two introduces the concept of ""situational humility""--leaders now need to shift between several types of relationships to deal with the accelerating complexity of a supply-constrained, ""quiet quitting,"" and ""two-days-in-the-office"" world. And chapter five explains how to create a culture of humble leadership. With examples from health care, government, the military, tech, and more, this is a compact, accessible guide to a leadership paradigm far better suited to a world that demands fast, nimble response to change and to a workplace hungry for mutual respect and trust.
