Listen to people in every field and you'll hear a call for more
sophisticated leadership--for leaders who can solve more complex
problems than the human race has ever faced. But these leaders won't
simply come to the fore; we have to develop them, and we must
cultivate them as quickly as is humanly possible. Changing on the Job
is a means to this end.
As opposed to showing readers how to play the role of a leader in a
"paint by numbers" fashion, Changing on the Job builds on theories of
adult growth and development to help readers become more thoughtful
individuals, capable of leading in any scenario. Moving from the
theoretical to the practical, and employing real-world examples, author
Jennifer Garvey Berger offers a set of building blocks to help cultivate
an agile workforce while improving performance.
Coaches, HR professionals, thoughtful leaders, and anyone who wants to
flourish on the job will find this book a vital resource for developing
their own capacities and those of the talent that they support.
