Description

In The Leaderful Fieldbook, author Joe Raelin asserts that everyone is capable of participating in leadership, not just sequentially, but collectively and concurrently-that is, all together and at the same time. Whereas Raelin's earlier works discussed the theory behind "leaderful organizations," The Leaderful Fieldbook serves as a practical guide to apply change strategies at five levels: individual and interpersonal, team, organization and network, each with its corresponding change agent (coach, facilitator, OD consultant,weaver).

"This book will be actively used by practitioners, consultants, executives, students and managers from organizations of all sizes and geographies for many years to come." -Louis Carter, founder and CEO, Best Practice Institute

"Now that the heroic leader idea is dead, the search is on to find ways of engaging as many members of organizations as possible in collaborative forms of leadership practice. This book, whose author is passionate about the need to realize democratic principles in organizations, helps meet that need. With its focus on five integrated levels of change, Joe Raelin's text is bursting with useful suggestions for adoption or adaptation by coaches, facilitators, developers, and network ‘weavers.' The Leaderful Fieldbook provides a clearly articulated, highly accessible and useful exposition in which there are numerous practical activities for the improvement of personal performance and organizational betterment." -Peter Gronn, professor, University of Cambridge

"Just as Creating Leaderful Organizations set out the tapestry of modern leadership, The Leaderful Fieldbook provides the threads for weaving it into everyday practice. Here we have a wealth of practical interventions, from up-to-the-minute activities to classic inventories. Raelin creatively, almost playfully, juxtaposes the cognitive and the experiential, the serious and the fun, the graphic and the rational, the intuitive and the systematic. The overall feel of this book is energizing and engaging. Any change agent-whether coach, facilitator, networker, or consultant-will find here a rich resource for leaderful practice." -Chris Mabey, director, Centre for Leadership at University of Birmingham, UK
