Description
Leading Professionals: Power, Politics, and Prima Donnas by Laura Empson This book uncovers the complex, messy, and surprisingly emotional challenges of leading professional organizations. It reveals the realities that lie beneath the 'professional' surface of these organizations, where individual professionals value their autonomy and confer authority on their leaders on a highly contingent basis. The book analyses the complex power dynamics and interpersonal politics that lie at the heart of leadership in professional organizations, drawing on the latest organizational and leadership theory. It is based on Laura Empson's scholarly research into the world's leading professional organizations across a range of sectors, including interviews with over 500 senior professionals in 16 countries.
