This groundbreaking new book will introduce you to new ways of thinking about leadership and inclusion in the workplace through an integrated exploration of research studies, stories, learning experiences, and tested solutions. In it, you'll discover how to make individual and collective intelligence more intelligent by changing the way you, and your organization, thinks. The world-changing events of the last few years -- from the use of social media in the protests in Egypt and the hair-trigger volatility in the global financial markets, to the natural disasters in Japan-- have illustrated how the world has become inextricably interconnected. This interconnectedness has changed the ways in which we respond and react, but it must also change the ways in which we think so that we can lead proactively and not reactively. The Next IQ: The Next Level of Intelligence for 21st Century Leaders illustrates this change in the way we think -- from the transformation of leadership from being rooted in individual expertise to being formed from multiple and diverse perspectives. It's the start of a conversation on how we need to think, learn, and lead in this new millennium. If you want to take your organization to the next level of intelligence that you'll need in order to think, learn, and compete in the increasingly seamless global marketplace of the 21st century, then this book is an essential addition to your library. With this accessible and innovative book you can make your business, firm, or organization more intelligent for the way the world works today.
