In a rapidly changing world, yesterday's organisation models are often at odds with today's expectations.
This masterpiece, "Inverted Leadership", by Richard J. Haley, offers a revolutionary perspective that urges business, faith, and charity leaders to flip the script on how organisations are built and led. With over 17 years of experience coaching CEOs, directors, and managers across diverse sectors, Haley distills hard-won wisdom into an accessible and compelling narrative that challenges conventional leadership structures.
The foundational argument in Inverted Leadership is strikingly clear: traditional hierarchies, with their top-down control models and pyramid-like organisation charts, are no longer effective. The outdated system, once fueled by reward and punishment ("sticks and carrots"), is ill-suited to the needs of modern employees who crave purpose, autonomy, and inclusion. In this insightful and timely book, Richard J. Haley invites both emerging and experienced leaders into an honest, practical, and refreshingly human conversation about what leadership should look like in today's shifting cultural and organisational climate.
