Summary:Traditional organizational boundaries limit our ability to deliver results. The "Connected Leader" argues that many of the old leadership recipes are outdated and don't take into account changes in the work environment and informal social networks within the organization. Taking a new approach to leadership theory, the author (a senior director at Hay Group) argues that modern leaders engage with employees and improve performance by building on trust, giving meaning to workplace relationships and by creating dialogue within the organization. The "Connected Leader" provides diagnostic tools for readers to evaluate their own skills and directly relate the insights from the book to their own situation.
