 For a successful world economic system we need some fundamental changes that respond to the changing nature and expectations of society. Capitalism has to become more robust, more acceptable and more sustainable. Managers and Leaders Who Can provides a vision and road-map for making sense of the new world we live in as it affects management and leadership. Looking at the new economic and social circumstances of the post-recession world and examining the implications holistically for management and leadership, for governments, employers and individuals alike, this book provides practical guidance and illustrations on how to take forward the development challenge on a national, organisational and individual level. Praise for Managers and Leaders Who Can: "Ruth Spellman's book is a timely and long awaited outstanding addition to the management literature. This is a 'must read' for anybody in a leadership or managerial role." Prof. Cary L. Cooper, CBE, Distinguished Professor of Organisational Psychology and Health at Lancaster University Management School "Ruth Spellman has provided the thought platform from which a younger generation of aspiring leaders and managers can transform the nature of their profession. I urge you to read this and be creative!" Des Benjamin, CEO Simplyhealth "In times of unprecedented change, Managers and Leaders Who Can equips managers with tangible tools and case studies to develop their own and their organisations' capabilities. Spellman offers superb, practical and up-to-date insight into what employees want, what managers need and what all business leaders have to focus on to develop competitive advantage in turbulent times." Christina Ioannidis, Founder and CEO, Aquitude; author of Your Loss: How to Win Back your Female Talent "Ruth is absolutely right to identify and describe how leadership has to adapt to a totally new business environment.
