The Fourth Industrial Revolution signals a sea change in the way we lead our organisations. Moving away from relational leadership and horizontal, organisationally-led development, it is imperative that business leaders are able to adapt to more networked organisations and shift away from dated assumptions of positional power. Constructing Leadership 4.0 breaks new ground by explaining the urgent challenges facing managers and business leaders. It will teach you how to:
- Approach leadership development as a system rather than a programme
- Develop an organisational ecosystem to support leadership 4.0
- Build collaborative networks Cultivate a responsive mindset through sensemaking
- Use non-classroom based learning methodologies for educating leaders
Rooted in leadership development methodology and underpinned by cutting-edge research, this book calls for businesses to cultivate responsive leaders through a theory of connectivism and swarm intelligence that reflects the coming cybernetic revolution. - About the authors

“Richard Kelly is organised in his thinking, crisp in his writing and replete with examples. I have read endless books on management and leadership theory and practice, and Kelly’s book is singularly different. Said another way, Kelly has taken the high road to this topic with a passing nod to those trodding beneath him. Kudos.” (Dr Karen Stephenson, President of NetForm International, Associate professor of Management at RSM, author and thought leader on the scientific underpinnings of trust)
"Organizations of all sizes can learn a lot from Mother Nature and the biological phenomenon of Swarm Intelligence. It's a very important topic." (Louis Rosenberg, CEO, inventor, author and TED speaker)
