Next Generation Leadership by Adam Kingl
Employers who refuse to adapt to the expectations of younger generations are losing out on top talent, as they leave for positions at companies with more modern practices. Learn what companies need to do to fit into the new normal in the workplace.
'So many of the executives with whom I work are asking about what the next generation wants from leadersThat's exactly the question that Adam Kingl's new book addresses. Based on data rather than the usual folklore, it provides actionable answers for leaders and co-workers as we navigate this very different world of work - a world that causes us to question why we work and how we lead.' -Dr. Elsbeth Johnson CEO, SystemShift Faculty, MIT Sloan and The London School of Economics
If you only read one book on leadership this year make it Next Generation Leadership by Adam Kingl (and then stand in front of a mirror and say: 'Dude, seriously, why do you only read one leadership book a year?') Kingl's thoughtful, insightful and engaging style makes this much more than a book on leading across generations - vital though that is. It perfectly captures the changing nature of leadership itself. The perennial truths, the current priorities, the evolving context are all skilfully explained, with a bias towards engaging the reader and providing practical support. Much as a great leader would, in fact. I liked that the book both challenged some notions of leadership and emphasised others, encompassing a wide range of issues from loyalty, team and development to agility, purpose and virtual working, all with a clear-eyed focus on the need to succeed as someone leading oneself, a team, or an entire organisation, in the third decade of the 21st century. The world needs more and better leadership, and that includes the ability to connect with others, especially the next generation; to provide a positive and open vision, and to be practical - understanding the big picture while also sweating the details. Adam Kingl shows the way forward: 'Skilled leaders meet people empathically and find a way to appeal to their deeper aspirations, hopes, dreams, and values. The good news is that these are evolving towards greater care towards people and planet.' Seriously, if you do only read one leadership book a year then this one might just change your ways. -Jeremy Kourdi
