Executive Leadership: A Practical Guide to Managing Complexity (Developmental Management S.) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book aims to define leadership in terms of accountability. It aims to erase the distinction between leadership and management, arguing for the neccessity of leadership qualities in most management positions. It argues that managerial leadership qualities depend less on personal qualities than on certain conditions that can be established within a company. The conditions that the book cites are as follows: managers must be one step higher in their cognitive capability than their subordinates; the organization of the firm must be such that the managerial stratum is a step beyond the subordinate roles; there should exist specifications of managerial practice that should be recognized and practised; the individuals in the firm should have the ability to do their work, and not be subjected to disruptive tendencies.

Review
"This book is an enthralling read from start to finish and a marvellous addition to the Developmental Management series." Executive Development.
From the Back Cover
Achieving decisive, accountable, value–adding, managerial leadership is critical to effective organizations. Jaques and Clement approach this leadership question in an entirely new way.
By clarifying the meaning of leadership within the organizational structure. they show that all managers must have leadership accountability, and that there con be no such thing as an effective manager who does not effectively discharge that accountability.
It is in this analysis of what makes for effective managerial leadership that Executive Leadership is at its most radical. Jaques and Clement reject the notion that particular groups of personality qualities and traits characterize effective leaders and instead focus on the requisite organizational structure for managerial leadership to occur.
Executive Leadership is a refreshingly practical approach to the development of decisive managerial leaders at all levels of the organization. It is essential reading for all concerned with organization development, leadership and human resource management.
