Those at the top have a profound impact on the success of their organization. Effective and relevant executive leadership directly translates into an engaged, sustainable and profitable organization. Conversely, executive leadership that is out-of-touch, externally focused and embedded in paradigms of days gone by leads to employee disengagement, poor morale and ultimately a lack of organizational competitiveness.

Unfortunately, all too often executive leadership is marked by good intent but ineffective practice. Compounded by consultants unwilling to bite the hand that feeds them, and employees unwilling to take the risk of challenging up, dysfunctional executive leadership has become many an organization’s dirty little secret. Employees know it, but executives are oblivious.

It needn’t be this way. In her bestselling book, Breaking the Leadership Mold. An Executive’s Guide to Achieving Organizational Excellence, Dr. Steeves identifies ways in which senior executives and managers can respond to the challenges of today and shed the vestiges of days gone by. She offers advice for those who, while not at the top themselves, nevertheless see the problems that ineffective executive leadership creates. Dr. Steeves presents proven strategies to ensure that executives empower, unite and galvanize their managers and employees. The net result will be a work environment that is healthy, engaging, productive and sustainable.
