Description
Leadership: Being, Knowing, Doing by Stephen Tierney explores the concept of phronesis, or practical wisdom, and its application in effective leadership. This ancient Greek term refers to good judgement and good character, guiding leaders to act thoughtfully and virtuously. The book is structured around eight Basics, which represent a framework for leaders to reflect upon and improve their practice. These Basics are: Purpose & Introspection, Specialism & Strategy, Implementation, Networking, Guardianship & Expertise. By examining these elements, readers will gain insight into the Way of Being, Way of Knowing, and Way of Doing, which coalesce in effective leadership. This book aims to help leaders explore their capabilities and potential, and is designed to support current leaders in growing the leaders of the future.
