Although much has been written about different styles of leadership, little analysis has been undertaken with regard to the changing demands placed on leaders by the workforce, as business culture becomes softer and more ‘feminised’.

Sandy Arpino explains how this process is changing the way leaders must operate to succeed – and demonstrates the consequences of applying an inappropriate leadership style to an increasingly capable workforce.

This book shows how:

• • Ineffectual leadership is a fundamental root cause of organisational decline and business failure in the modern, fast-moving world
• • Long-term strategic leadership is what is required today; there are too many transient leaders operating to short-term aims
• • With an increasingly ‘feminised’ workplace, the inspirational ‘transformational’ leadership style is essential
• • There is a current deficit of good leaders, resulting in unsuitable ‘hero’ employees gaining too much power, with likely adverse consequences.

Sandy Arpino is a business consultant with a leading consulting firm, with over 20 years experience of working with major global organisations, designing and delivering strategic business change programmes. She is a regular lead columnist for the magazine, The CEO Refresher. This is her first book.
