New Leadership: Innovative, Lean And Agile Leadership Concepts And Tools For Organizational Excellence And Outperformance

New Leadership expounds advanced and innovative concepts of managing organizations and enterprises. Instead of managers delegating tasks, employees work independently individually and in groups. To do this, managers in companies must have a specific skills-set and need a high level of courage and trust. New Leadership aims at extremely flat hierarchies and lean structures. The traditional manager loses his status as a person giving orders and turns into an accompanying coach. A modern and successful New Leader knows how to motivate the team and employees for their work. The Leader conveys the purpose and meaning of the company and thus promotes intrinsic motivation among employees. This means that employees motivate themselves through their work and do not need any external incentives, i.e. no extrinsic motivation. They act and make decisions in the interests of the company. The New Leader gives up some of the power and thereby minimizes a certain degree of control. Management and staff always meet at eye level. New Leaders understand that leadership includes a high degree of autonomy, and that modern leadership uses different tools on the situational demands. Successful companies that transform their organizational culture into a lean and agile company with the New Leadership concept can achieve significant productivity improvements.
