CONNECTIVE LEADERSHIP: MANAGING IN A CHANGING WORLD

Book ID/图书代码： 03890015B83647

English Summary/英文概要： Business today is framed by two global tensions. On the one hand, the age of the Internet has ushered in an unprecedented interdependence. People from far-flung reaches of the globe now find themselves in close contact, and collaboration is the order of the day. On the other hand, we still live in an autonomous world of diverse nations and unique individuals, and the businesses and organizations that we have created to represent us are equally unique. In this conflicting environment, a special approach to leadership is called for, one that tames these two forces and integrates them in a political but ethical way. The Connective Leadership model defines that approach, emphasizing various modes of working with and through other people instead of bowing to authoritarianism. This includes creating short-term coalitions instead of long-term alliances and forming ennobling enterprises to which people want to commit themselves. Based on extensive research analyzing the leadership styles of more than 5,000 leaders and managers world-wide, Lipman-Blumen has developed an innovative strategy that demonstrates how to move beyond competition towards an "ethical instrumentalism" that employs the talents of others to achieve strategic goals. Thoroughly researched and accessibly written, this book--originally published under the title The Connective Edge--provides the skills and information needed to move organizations, nations, and people into the emerging era with stellar results.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 如今的商业由两个全球矛盾构建起来。一方面，已经进入了前所未有的相互依赖的互联网时代。来自地球遥远地区的人们发现自己处于密切接触中，而且合作至关重要。另一方面，我们仍然生活在由独立国家和独特个人组成的世界，我们创造的代表我们自己的企业和组织也同样独特。在这种矛盾的环境中，我们需要特殊的领导方式，能够驯服这两股力量并将它们以政治但道德的方式整合。《起连接作用的领导》定义了该方法，强调通过与人合作的各种模式，而不是屈服于其他人的权威。包括创建短期而不是长期联盟和形成人们会对自己负责的高尚企业。在广泛调研的基础上分析了超过5000位全球领导者和管理者的领导风格，利普曼•布鲁曼已经开发出一种创新的策略来演示如何超越竞争，朝着雇佣别的公司的人才实现战略目标的“道德工具论”。这本深入研究和通俗易懂的书，最初以《连接边缘》为题发表，提供了组织、国家和人们进入新时代所需要的技能和信息。(LNL)

Awards/获奖情况：利普曼•布鲁曼设想如果组织想要在正变得越来越相互依存和更多样化的世界获得成功，它们需要一个新的领导模式。这本书的三部分研究了人类在领导力方面的需求的起源和进化，详细描述了什么是起连接作用的领导模式，并探索了这种新模式的经验组织成果和哲学意义。理所当然地蔑视简单的解决方案，作者提出了对新的领导理想提出了复杂的设计？在形成长期联盟的同时，形成一个短期联盟，以解决眼前的问题（例如，乔治•布什和海湾战争联盟），并在这个变化多端的环境迅速移动，容易调整。连接领导模型将“工具主义”和真实性和问责性相结合。利普曼•布鲁曼将工具主义定义成一种用自己和他人来完成目标的方式，利于整个社会道德吗？一种变性的马基雅维里主义。作者有力地论证了一种新的领导方式的必要性，但她的模式有时是模糊和难以把握的。也不能完全肯定是新型领导出现的时候，但它们的优势会得到赞赏，它们的指导会被留心。戈尔巴乔夫也称赞了作者的这种连接风格，几乎没有一个成功的模型能像此一样发光。利普曼•布鲁普是位于加州克莱蒙特市的皮特•F•德鲁克研究生管理中心的领导力高等研究院的负责人。1996年里德商业信息有限公司出版。

Lipman-Blumen posits that organizations wanting to succeed in a world that is becoming more interdependent and more diverse simultaneously require a new leadership model. The book’s three parts examine the origin and evolution of the human need for leadership, detail what is described as the Connective Leadership Model and explore the empirical organizational results and philosophical implications of this new model. Rightfully disdaining simplistic solutions, the author presents a complex design for the new leadership ideal?one that forms short-term coalitions to solve immediate problems (for example, George Bush and his Gulf War Alliance) and moves rapidly and adjusts easily to changing circumstances while taking a long-term perspective. The Connective Leadership Model combines "instrumentalism" with authenticity and accountability. Lipman-Blumen defines instrumentalism as a way of using both self and others to accomplish goals that are ethically good for the entire community?a kind of denatured Machiavellianism. The author argues powerfully for the necessity of a new type of leadership, but her model is at times fuzzy and difficult to grasp. Nor is it at all certain that when new-style leaders appear, their strengths will be appreciated and their guidance heeded. Gorbachev, praised by the author for his connective style, hardly shines as a successful role model. Lipman-Blumen serves as codirector of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Leadership at the Peter F. Drucker Graduate Management Center in Claremont, Calif.
