| Summary |
"Responsible business is something society has come to expect, and organizations such as the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative and the World Economic Forum are constantly working to promote accountability in business. The Reconnected Leader explores management's failure to adapt to these expectations and explains what managers can do to establish a better connection between their organization and its stakeholders. HR and Leadership expert Norman Pickavance sets out an eight-step process for more ethical and interconnected management practices. He emphasizes creating a shared sense of purpose, responsibility, enterprise, and value. The book covers key topics such as using mindfulness to become a better decision maker, accountability in decision making, corporate governance, and establishing a culture that encourages innovation and community. With practical exercises and tools, this book explains what managers can do on an individual level to ensure their company has a positive impact on its employees, customers, environment, and society.

| Summary |
"In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, a scandal-ridden business world, and a deeply unstable business environment, trust in businesses and business leaders is at an all time low. The Reconnected Leader evaluates the current situation and sets out an eight-step model to implementing new practices that help leaders reconnect with their teams and reset the relationship the business has with all its stakeholders. It is up leaders to set long-term goals that, if achieved, will create lasting value for businesses and for the communities they serve. Drawing on case studies from international organizations and a sound theoretical underpinning, thought leader Norman Pickavance argues that the solution lies with leaders. The Reconnected Leader invites readers on a journey to rediscover the true purpose of their business and find more innovative solutions that integrate the challenge of long-term societal needs and short-term financial results"-- |
