Leaders today - whether in corporations or associations, nonprofits or nations - face massive, messy, multidimensional problems. No one person or group can possibly solve them - they require the broadest possible cooperation. But, says Harvard scholar Dean Williams, our leadership models are still essentially tribal: individuals with formal authority leading in the interest of their own group. In this deeply needed new book, he outlines an approach that enables leaders to transcend internal and external boundaries and help people to collaborate, even people over whom they technically have no power. Drawing on what he's learned from years of working in countries and organizations around the world, Williams shows leaders how to approach the delicate and creative work of boundary spanning, whether those boundaries are cultural, organizational, political, geographic, religious, or structural. Sometimes leaders themselves have to be the ones who cross the boundaries between groups. Other times, a leader's job is to build relational bridges between divided groups or even to completely break down the boundaries that block collaborative problem solving. By thinking about power and authority in a different way, leaders will become genuine change agents, able to heal wounds, resolve conflicts, and bring a fractured world together.

Non-fiction: Business and career success

Real Leadership debunks the notion that leaders are supposed to get people to follow and instead offers entirely new approach that leaders should get people to face the reality of the situation.In Responsible Leadership, Dean Williams argues that any leadership that lets people sidestep the sometimes-harsh truth of reality is irresponsible-and ultimately ineffective. Responsible leadership gets people to face difficult realities and mobilises them to address the organisation's most pressing challenge-the primary threat or opportunity that must be confronted in order to progress. Responsible leaders help people shift their values, habits, practices and priorities to accommodate changing conditions and new demands.
