Description
Book SynopsisIntentional Power: The 6 Essential Leadership Skills for Triple Bottom Line Impact is THE playbook for modern leaders.
Intentional Power: The 6 Essential Leadership Skills for Triple Bottom Line Impact explores how the transition from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder capitalism has created an urgent need for a new model of leadership; a model that enables leaders to navigate competing demands from both internal and external stakeholders including the most racially and age-diverse workforce in history, activist investors, purpose-driven customers, and global government regulators.
Intentional Power argues persuasively for a more inclusive, comprehensive approach to leadership disrupting the conventional approach that has been taught for decades in business books, management courses, and by traditional leaders themselves. It is a guide for delivering triple bottom-line impact: enhancing profits, people, and the planet.
