New thinking about old truths … announcing the new BSA book.

Have you ever speculated about whether leadership really matters? Or thought about how people really feel about their leaders? Perhaps you have reflected on how leaders feel about leading? Maybe, just maybe you have wondered about the best ways of leading, or of avoiding the ‘leadership vacuum’ syndrome in working with very capable people?

These questions underlie this innovative and refreshing flight of discovery which takes us through the daily impact that leaders have on organisations. Piet Calitz presents it in imaginative story format, blending the theoretical with the practical and leading the reader by the hand towards an understanding of ‘lived strategy’ and the resonance of a leaders’ influence in daily organisational decision-making.

The contents explore and build on original, but lesser known, concepts of Gillian Stamp.
