The speed of change and level of complexity in today's world are straining the capacities of many leaders almost to the breaking point.  These conditions have created what we call the agility imperative. To succeed in this new era, leaders, teams, and organizations need to be agile.

More and more companies are identifying "agility" as a key capacity their leaders need to ensure ongoing business success. Yet, few people really understand what agile leadership looks like in practice, how to assess it, and how to develop it.

We wrote the book on leadership agility

Building on several decades of work with leaders in a wide range of industries, we spent four years researching and writing about this topic.  Our new book, Leadership Agility, clearly describes the inner capacities and core competencies of highly agile leaders.  With over twenty real-life stories, it also identifies the five stages of levels that managers move through to master leadership agility.

Currently, only a small vanguard of leaders has the level of agility needed for sustained effectiveness in this new era of turbulent global competition.  Richly illustrated with stories that come from original research and decades of work with clients, Leadership Agility shows why these leaders are better at anticipating new trends and more visionary in their thinking.  It demonstrates why they are better at forging stakeholder alignment and gaining support for their initiatives.  It describes the creativity they use to transform problems into desired results.  Finally, it shows how agile leaders accelerate their development by using daily leadership initiatives to experiment with more effective mindsets and behaviors.

Highly agile leaders are strongly committed to their own personal development, and they understand how social and environmental responsibility enhances long-term business success.

Written in an engaging, down-to-earth style, this ground-breaking book is designed as a roadmap that tells you how to bring increased agility to the initiatives you take every day -- whether you want to improve working relationships, develop your team, or change your organization.
