The ART of Leading and Creating IMPACT
Purpose
The Ecosystem Handbook describes the ART of leading and creating impact.
In this context the “art” is in the spirit of Sun Tsu’s the Art of War. It is about solving problems that a single company or organization cannot solve alone. It is about becoming faster, stronger, more resilient and innovative. And by doing that creating value for all ecosystem partners and broader society and economy. But above all, it is about developing organizational empathy – the ability to understand other organizations and people.
The Book
The Ecosystem Handbook provides a fresh and engaging insight to everyone collaborating within ecosystems and to those who wish to build and lead them successfully — with an impact. Impact can be improved by aligning organizations and people rationally but above all, it is about empathy and caring organizational culture. It is about developing the capabilities to understand and lead other organizations and people with different professional and cultural backgrounds. The book provides new and practical tools to ecosystem partners for solving grand challenges together.
Authors
The Ecosystem Handbook is a hands-on guide combining rational and emotional elements of leadership, followership, understanding the context, learning, and managing yourself and others. The authors have all global experience in leading people, organizations and self – in the context of global organizations and ecosystems.
