A Changed Perspective: An Essential Guide for Emerging Leaders - Paperback

by Bob Emiliani (Author)

Why has leadership barely advanced since the time of the Pharaohs?

After a century of behavior-change training, the same dysfunctional patterns keep repeating -generation after generation, company after company. A Changed Perspective exposes why: the real engine of poor leadership isn't behavior. It's preconceptions - opinions formed prior to experience and absent of reasoning, inherited from sources as ancient as 12,000 years.

Drawing on over 30 years of research and experience, A Changed Perspective introduces a breakthrough framework - Preconceptions → Beliefs → Behaviors → Competencies - that finally explains why leadership training so often fails. The book identifies scores of preconceptions that inform the status quo, contrasts two competing realities, and unmasks the ancient Institution of Leadership and System of Profound Privilege that has long quietly governed corporations.

Built for emerging leaders, but useful to experiences leaders as well, the book includes reflection exercises throughout and a co-author section where you finish the book.
