Fierce Leadership By Susan Scott

Fierce Leadership by Susan Scott examines widely accepted leadership mantras and questions their effectiveness in modern organisations. It is presented as a business and leadership title.

Synopsis

Susan Scott argues that certain “best practices” have been adopted uncritically by business leaders, despite being ineffective, costly for companies, and damaging to relationships with valued employees and customers. She suggests these ideas have become so embedded in organisational culture that they have rarely been challenged.

Drawing on more than a decade of research and work with CEOs and senior executives at leading global companies, Scott explains why these established approaches are misguided. She outlines how to recognise when an organisation is relying on them and describes the negative impact they can have on a business, before proposing a set of alternative practices in her direct, no-nonsense style.
