Description

With the rise of political unrest, protectionism and economic uncertainties, business leaders must assess, react and strategize rapidly, with enough responsiveness to re-calibrate should circumstances change. The Agile Leader exposes how leaders can safely guide their teams to organizational stability and prosperity through agile leadership and building an agile culture.

When presented with key moments of choice, agility allows them to move quickly and responsively, and offer coping strategies for this unprecedented rate of change. By adopting agile ways of working that focus on facilitating mental agility, ruthlessly prioritizing, devolving decision-making and investing in customer research, leaders enable organizational learning and drive innovation.

The Agile Leader

By Simon Hayward

3 stars

Broken into three parts.

Firstly, defines an Agile leader - one who is connected and responds to opportunities in a digital age.

Secondly how this looks in business.

Lastly developing an agile organisation

Examples are provided including the change in transportation resulting from Uber, Airbnb,

Five characteristics of the Agile - Balance, Strength, Speed, Coordination, and Endurance.

Opinion - While the book has a researched basis, the key messages could be written simpler and on facts sheets, rather than a full book.

While the concepts are worth considering, the change required for someone to become an agile leader will not occur from reading this book.
Thank you to Netgalley for providing a review copy in return for an honest review. All opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
