Beyond Authority: Leadership in a changing world
Julia Middleton
Executives have to produce change within their organizations but across functions they don’t control. Policemen have to work alongside health and housing professionals. Non-executives have to influence decisions that are not theirs to make. Authority is becoming less clear-cut. The traditional leadership tools work – but nothing like as well as they used to. Increasingly, you need to supplement them with others. That’s what this book is about.
