About the Book
Bestselling author and father of organizational culture studies, Edgar Schein and Peter Schein trail-blaze with a creative perspective on leadership that encourages vulnerability and empathy as a form of strength.
The Future of Leadership
Leadership is a relationship--but that relationship must change, say legendary organizational scholar Edgar Schein and former Silicon Valley executive Peter Schein. The vertical hierarchy, with its emphasis on formal, transactional relationships, professional distance, and all guidance coming from the top, is hopelessly inflexible and outdated. In a complex world, leadership must rely on high levels of trust and openness throughout the organization, and that can be achieved only by what they call personization and Level 2 relationships, which build the agility to make course corrections quickly. This book shows how such humble leadership has built effective cultures in a whole range of sectors: health care, government, the military, tech and innovation, and more.
My Take on the Book
This is a great book that makes you think about the relationships that you have in the workplace. As a leader you have to understand the relationships and learn to use empathy, trust and collaboration to be able to be a positive leader for the future. This book shares how you need to interact with peers and work collaboratively on the relationships that they have to show trust and respect in all that they do. I loved that the book had case studies that shows how the humble leadership approach works. Through these case studies you get to have a better feel for how you can incorporate the approach in your own workplace.
