Description
Systems Leadership: Creating Positive Organisations by Ian Macdonald, Catherine Burke, and Karl Stewart is a comprehensive guide to developing effective social organisations. The authors explore how people come together to achieve productive purposes, highlighting the importance of creating positive organisations that meet individuals' needs for creativity and belonging. Poor social organisation, including poor leadership, can lead to poor productivity and disengagement among employees. This book provides a language for discussing and working with propositions about organisations and management, offering tools to help consider, analyse, and predict the consequences of decisions. With its broad application areas across public, private, and not-for-profit sectors, this edition includes new models, case studies, and approaches to authority and organisational design. By applying these ideas, organisations can achieve their purpose while encouraging creative working and fostering a positive work environment. This integrated approach offers foresight and practical guidance for anyone involved in managing or leading an organisation.
