Summary of Edgar H. Schein & Peter A. Schein's Humble Leadership - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The good news is that employee engagement, empowerment, and organizational agility can flourish when the fundamental relationship between leaders and followers, helpers and clients, and providers and customers becomes more personal and cooperative. The bad news is that continued deception, scandals, high turnover of disengaged talent, safety and quality problems, and corruption and abuse of power will continue as long as leader-follower relationships remain impersonal and transactional. #2 Leadership is wanting to do something new and better, and getting others to go along with you.
It is about the task at hand, and the cultural values of the group or organization that is doing the work. #3 The four levels of relationship are total impersonal domination and coercion, Level 1, transactional role and rule-based supervision, service, and most forms of professional helping relationships, Level 2. #4 The world is becoming more and more complex, and organizations must adapt to it.
Humble Leadership is needed to link workgroups and teams, and it is becoming clear that teams will need to share what works and what they know.
