I became fascinated with what was going on, under the surface, that made what should be great organization designs produce, at best, only good results. I started to question our assumptions about leadership, teamwork, and "people skills" in general and began to pay close attention to those who seemed to be able to thrive in unstructured environments. What made the difference in people who were consistently able to produce outstanding results outside of command and control cultures? I came to see that they were able to produce a climate where people were willing and able to tell each other "the truth." The key that unlocked their secrets for me is when I finally understood the difference between being "open and honest" and what in the book I call "being descriptive." That difference is essential. Open and honest often leads to hard feelings and acrimony while being descriptive leads to trust and productive working relationships.
I am personally committed to helping to create new forms of organizing that are good for people, for profits, and for the planet. I hope that the ideas in CLEAR LEADERSHIP help to move us in that direction.
CLEAR LEADERSHIP explores what it takes to eliminate interpersonal mush and create a climate in which people can feel free to say what they really mean, where goals and plans are truly agreed to, teams genuinely pull together, and real learning takes place. Author Gervase Bushe shows leaders at all levels--from the individual in charge of a maintenance crew to senior executives implementing a strategic initiative--how to create honest conversations that strengthen their team's ability to solve problems, make decisions, deal with conflict, assess performance, serve customers, and manage change.
