Abstract
Purpose
Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting‐edge research and case studies.
Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
Employees will often talk facetiously about their managers, for example mock‐heroically with references to “our fearless leader”. But good leaders will always be respected; their influence can be exaggerated, but everyone, even the more cynical workers, recognizes the importance of leadership to an organization's future and success. And good leadership should run throughout the organization.
Practical implications
Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to‐digest format.
