SUMMARY
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.

SUMMARY
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.
