Friend Leadership - A visual inspiration book

The leadership style of today is over 100 years old, it is the out-dated Taylor developed doctrine concerning making mass production more efficient. Here the power of leadership was supposed to concentrate information to the owner(s). With the revolution in information sharing, information became available for everyone including you. Thus, a new approach to leadership is needed, to enable people to flourish and to become empowered. Friend Leadership is a close relative to coaching and shared leadership models. It differs from these in that work content is equally agreed by you, the boss and the team. The term Friend Leadership is originally derived from a coaching program by Johannes Partanen1 led (From the Young Manager Come Real New Leaders) at Tiimiakatemia® in Jyväskylä, Central Finland. The content is derived from the book Leadership Challenge (Kouzes & Posner 2007) area HIT MR philosophy, that is to say, we should challenge process, have inspirational vision, make actions viable, model the way and encourage the heart.
