This book provides the missing link of how to shift mindsets on how to work effectively. The word agile has moved far beyond its original meaning in helping to transform large organizations. We now know that agile is used as the tool to accelerate an organization's ability to adapt and thrive in a world of accelerating change. This book provides the missing link of how to shift mindsets on how to work effectively. This shift requires an investigation of how we can move organizations in the way they think about work-especially work that does not easily conform to the traditional plan-driven approach. Agile has proven to be the go-to approach to begin to transform organizations in the digital age. Without agile, large organizations struggle to keep up with their nimbler competitors. There are not only external threats, but also internal threats. Employees want to work for customer obsessed organizations that have more than just a profit motive. Agile goes a long way in convincing existing and potential talent that you are the right place for them. Customers have many more options today than they did in the last century, so agile is a way to rally your entire organization toward becoming customer obsessed. All of the potential benefits of agile will not be realized until the leaders first have a higher-level understanding of the mindset that is critical to undertaking the successful journey to becoming more agile.

Leadership Studies is a multi-disciplinary academic exploration of the various aspects of how people get along, and how together they get things done. The fields that contribute to leadership studies include history, political science, psychology, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, literature, and behavioral economics. Leadership Studies is also about the ethical dimensions of human behavior. The discipline considers what leadership has been in the past (the historical view), what leadership actually looks like in the present (principally from the perspectives of the behavioral sciences and political science), and what leadership should be (the ethical perspective). The SAGE Encyclopedia of Leadership Studies will present both key concepts and research illuminating leadership and many of the most important events in human history that reveal the nuances of leadership, good and bad. Entries will include topics such as power, charisma, identity, persuasion, personality, social intelligence, gender, justice, unconscious conceptions of leadership, leader-follower relationships, and moral transformation.
