About this Item

Leichte Rillen / Abschurfungen / Risse / Knicke. Organizational structures are ineffective when they do not delineate and define accountabilities. Brian Dive focuses upon the implications of clear accountability for leadership, with an in-depth analysis of "distributed leadership" - a concept neglected in the leadership literature to date. Dive explores the relationship between leadership, accountability and organizational structure. He argues that the majority of leadership-related problems arise not from ineffective individuals but from organizational structures that lack accountable jobs. In a Decision Making Accountability Solution Set, he outlines the key principles of accountability. By implementing the principles an organization can improve the performance of its managerial staff at all levels.

About this title

Synopsis

The Accountable Leader is centred around three themes - leadership, accountability and organizational structure, and explores what it means for managers to be held to account at all levels in an organization. It will show that most leadership related problems arise from the ineffectiveness of organisational structures that lack accountable jobs.

Complete with case study material and international examples, The Accountable Leader brings home the importance of accountability as the necessary and robust platform for the assessment of potential leaders and leadership development - and demonstrates how clear accountability enables managers to achieve much more within their roles.

The Accountable Leader was prestigiously voted one of 'The Thirty Best Business Books of 2008' by Soundview Executive Book Summaries, USA.
