Über dieses Buch

What does really matter for daily leadership? How would a good and effective manager be characterized? Daniel F. Pinnow describes in a very illustrative way the essentials of collaborating with people in the business environment. This standard reference book exists as a 4th edition in German and is also available in Chinese. It provides a comprehensive and easy-to-understand overview over the most important leadership approaches in theory and practice. The credo of the author is: Leadership is an art of creating a world where others would love to join in.

Chapter 1. Leadership in the Twenty-First Century Leadership in the Crisis?
Abstract
Leadership in the Twenty-first century means leading under intense conditions; today’s markets and people are different than their counterparts of 20 years ago. Managers and employees are faced with new challenges, have other goals and interests, live in another environment, and they define themselves and their work differently than the generation before them did. Before getting to the topic of leading, I would first like to briefly outline the most important basic social and economic conditions. This can of course be nothing more than a general outline, as, beyond its increasing complexity and acceleration, the Twenty-first century is especially characterized by one trend: change.

Chapter 2. Occupation or Calling: What Makes for Good Leadership?
Abstract
John F. Kennedy, Mahatma Gandhi and Sir Winston Churchill were exemplary leaders of nations. With regard to leading workers, Heidrick and Struggles ask, “What is good leadership?” This is a complex and highly philosophical question, which has been met with innumerable, often opposing answers from management schools and theory. Typically, leaders are evaluated concerning their practices, leading to more confusion than clarification.

Chapter 3. Systemic Leadership or: Designing a World That Others Want to Be Part Of
Abstract
The answer to the challenges of the developments in the twenty-first century is systemic leadership. Systemic leadership based on person-related development and change is an approach in the conflict field between the requirements of globalization, networking, speed, knowledge management and the individuality or – put a bit more dramatically – the egomania of the individual leader.

Chapter 4. More Than Just Talking or: The Instruments of Systemic Leadership
Abstract
n the previous chapters, I have taken you on a journey through the lessons of leadership. First, we explored what specific requirements apply to leadership to in the twenty-first century (Chap. 1). Then we looked at the existing management approaches and assessed the extent to which they can guide us in today’s day-to-day work (Chap. 2). On this basis, I then illustrated how systemic leadership, an integrative approach and as such my preferred one, works and how each leader can succeed in creating a world that those they lead want to belong to (Chap. 3).

Chapter 5. Conclusion or: Where the Road Is Leading
Abstract
Leadership in the Twenty-first century means leading under intense conditions; today’s markets and people are different than their counterparts of 20 years ago. Managers and employees are faced with new challenges, have other goals and interests, live in another environment, and they define themselves and their work differently than the generation before them did. Before getting to the topic of leading, I would first like to briefly outline the most important basic social and economic conditions. This can of course be nothing more than a general outline, as, beyond its increasing complexity and acceleration, the Twenty-first century is especially characterized by one trend: change.
