Creating Leaderful Organizations: How to Bring Out Leadership in Everyone

Leadership has traditionally resided in one person with many followers. This book presents a new model of mutual leadership, which transforms leadership from one individual's responsibility into a new way of working for everyone.

Creating Leaderful Organizations demonstrates the bottom-line benefits of this model, shows how it is already working in numerous companies, and offers guidance in implementation. Author Joseph Raelin explains how to distribute leadership roles; develop individuals to be leaders; deal with resistance; and achieve the "4 c's of leaderful practice" -- concurrent leadership, collective leadership, collaborative leaders, and compassionate leaders.
