Transform from leader to steward to drive growth and make an impact
Inspiring Stewardship helps leaders drive sustainable development and
growth by balancing short- and long-term objectives amidst competing
interests. By examining a range of exceptional individual and
organisational stewards alongside insights from quantitative studies,
this book unlocks the contributions you can make to enhance your
influence and secure your legacy. Profiles of leaders from Ratan Tata to
Bill Gates illustrate what stewardship really means, and the attributes
and characteristics of steward leaders. Are they fundamentally
different? Where do they get their exceptional drive and resilience? Why
do they shoulder such huge responsibility? Risks, rewards, motivations
and actions are explored in depth to give you a real-world view of
stewardship, and to show you how to embody these principles in your own
everyday life.
The notion of stewardship has never been more relevant to business than
it is today, as managers struggle to balance present and future
interests. This book provides clarity, direction and guidance for more
purpose-driven action.
- Understand the concepts and principles of stewardship
- Discover characteristics of steward leaders across cultures
- Learn how stewards have shifted the course of their organisations
- Examine the capabilities that deepen organisational resilience
Today, ownership of firms is increasingly fragmented, investment
structures are more and more complex and the time horizons of investors,
executives and owners do not always coincide. Inspiring Stewardship
helps you break through the tension and drive sustainable growth through
adaptability and good leadership.
