Become a more flexible leader in today’s unpredictable world with a revolutionary approach to applying leadership skills—while remaining steadfast in proven principles and your values.

Despite the billions of dollars invested every year into leadership development, leaders aren’t collectively becoming more successful. Existing tools like assessments, models, and styles have proven largely inadequate in equipping leaders for today’s age of work.

For leaders to succeed in a landscape more unpredictable than ever, they need a new perspective and a brand-new set of skills that center around what is missing in the models and existing tools: flexibility.

Kevin Eikenberry, Chief Potential Officer of the Kevin Eikenberry Group, a leadership consulting company centered on a philosophy of lifelong learning, explains the need for and how to effectively harness this essential flexibility in this guide for leaders at all levels.

A roadmap outlining a new toolkit for leaders frustrated with their current effectiveness and confidence, Flexible Leadership teaches readers to:

• Distinguish between what has and hasn’t changed in the world of work—enabling them to lead with greater success and leverage flexibility more effectively
• Efficiently use, but not rely on, existing and familiar leadership models
• Apply a framework to be more situationally flexible and effective every day without compromising their values

The flexible leader has a clear mindset and increased confidence knowing that they can respond to their everyday situations with greater success, instead of being overly reliant on restrictive and complicated tools that can get in the way. Flexible Leadership is every leader’s guide to greater success in a world of increasing complexity and chaos.
