Ecosystem Leadership
This issue presents a wide range of perspectives on the challenges, necessities and pitfalls of the modern organizational imperative of leading in an ecosystem.
The complexity and constant change that modern business environments demand means that leaders need to ensure their organizations are permanently adapting and evolving to the latest conditions and contexts.
Our contributors – globally recognized authorities on ecosystems leadership, senior practitioners at multinationals, professors and consultants highlight their particular views and insights in this comprehensive issue.
We also touch on the power of diversity both in our networks and in our individual strengths in pieces by LaTonya Wilkins and Emma Russell; and explore empathy with Martin Best and organizational reinvention with Julie Jungawala, Dean Rockwell and Jenny Stine.
