This is the second volume in the Management Today series published in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Management. As with the previous title, Innovation and Imagination at Work, this is a multiauthored book by leading Australian thinkers, academics and professional managers. It presents a range of topical subjects of concern and interest to managers at middle and upper management levels. Heart and Soul of Leadership explores current concepts of leadership in the Australian context. The underlying premise of each case study is that leadership is intensely personal, encapsulating the desire to lead, to organise 'meaning' and to communicate this meaning to others in the modern organisation. Each chapter delivers a different contemporary perspective, coming together to create a cohesive and values-driven approach to leadership. The eight chapters come together to define the principles of leadership - to engage, to align, to focus - in a conversational and anecdotal style. They draw on the authors' informed views about the subject area and include examples of how other practising Australian managers connect with the topic. Chapters include: -21st Century Leadership: Leading in the Networked World -Women and Australian Leadership -Emotion: The Essence of Integrated Leadership -The Secret of Making Leadership Work: Engagement, Alignment, Focus -Hearts, Minds and Organisational Soul: Turning Managers into Leaders
