EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP BY DESIGN: HOW DESIGN IN GREAT ORGANIZATIONS PRODUCES GREAT LEADERSHIP
Book ID/图书代码： 04331418C00181
English Summary/英文概要： Imagine a world with great leadership. What would that world be like? Would it be a better world or a worse one? Now ratchet great leadership up to exceptional leadership and suddenly we have cause for optimism. But how do we design exceptional leadership, and would we even know it if we saw it? Traditional paradigms of leadership have celebrated decisive top-down control and analytical decision-making. But times are changing. The world is more connected, complex, fluid and interdependent.
This book debunks the myth that leaders need to be creative like designers to apply Design Thinking. Applying design approaches and practices to organizational leadership is not just about its leaders becoming more creative. It is definitely not about the person at the top coming up with the grand answer. Design thinking starts with the ‘pain point’ related to the problem you are trying to solve. You get to the heart of the issue. It is a collaborative effort that neatly leads stakeholders and representatives affected by the problem to design novel leadership solutions that actually work.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 「設計」遍布於我們的日常生活中，試想看看，在經濟艙中飛行十七個小時，或使用筆電工作，總是導致你身體痠痛、眼睛受傷，這其實都是設計不佳的例子。
良好的設計應以人為核心，設計任何商品時，都應思考如何為人做出更好的產品、流程或體驗，不論從定義、構思到原型製作、測試等等，都應以「同理心」來思考，以人為核心的設計思維來進行。
在這個VUCA的世界(變異的volatile, 不確定的uncertain, 複雜的complex, and 模糊的ambiguous)，我們應運用VUCA prime原則來應變，所謂的VUCA prime指的是「遠見vision」,「理解understanding」, 「清晰clarity」, 以及「 靈活agility」。
現在，本書教你如何運用這種設計思維來進行領導，領導力的兩樣核心是任務與關係，所有領導者都需要人來完成任務，然而如何在過程中平衡任務與關係，以便更有效的完成，本書邀請各個領域的領導專家，為讀者提出了可供實行的有效方法。
