Rethinking the World of Business to Generate the Dynamics of Lasting Success.
Many businesses have failed to apply the full potential of human creativity and extraordinary advancements in technology to the betterment of the world's population. We are allowing a relentless drive for personal gain to cloud our responsibilities as members of society. It is ideological to suggest that business is concerned exclusively with markets money and making profits. It is dangerously ideological to ignore the role business plays in society and the lives of individuals.
As world leaders are beginning to seriously question the exclusive aspects of globalisation, and the promise that the ultimate benefits will filter down to the population at large, 'Inclusive Leadership' offers a practical approach to more productive and equitable relationships for business and the society in which it operates. For each of the major stakeholders in an enterprise the authors present an insightful analysis of the potential value of interdependence and the benefits to be gained by sharing goals.
The book has 17 case examples, each one describing the applications of inclusive leadership practiced by enterprises operating in Australia which has placed them in the forefront of their industry. The authors show how successful businesses can look after the bottom line as well as their greatest asset, their people and the society in which they operate.
The challenges are immense, but Australia's boardrooms and management have the capacity to turn the predicaments of the present into a future of unprecedented opportunities. If this country is to prosper for the wider good of the community inclusive leadership will be both an economic and a social imperative.
