Hear Joe Raelin as he kicks off the Boston Business Expo by presenting the ideas and insights from his new book Creating Leaderful Organizations. Joe is the Asa S. Knowles Chair of Practice-Oriented Education at Northeastern University. In this role, he will have overall responsibility for the Center for Work and Learning. In particular, he is interested in how we learn reflectively from practice and how this method of learning can translate into a collective form of leadership. |
In his latest work, Creating Leaderful Organizations:
How to Bring Out Leadership in Everyone, Joe Raelin introduces a new way to think about
and exhibit leadership, which he calls, "leaderful
practice." Thought to be ripe for the
requirements of our 21st Century organizations,
leaderful practice replaces the conventional,
heroic model by introducing the four c's:
Leaderful leaders are concurrent, collective,
collaborative, and compassionate.
Facing the sometimes contradictory pressures
in our organizations of the need to perform
while permitting the autonomy of an increasingly
sophisticated workforce, most managers experience
leadership as perhaps the most promising
yet challenging competency in their operating
repertoire. In his sessions, Joe not only
explains but gives participants hands-on
experience in "leaderful" development.
Accordingly, attendees will assess where
they stand on the spectrum from conventional
to leaderful practice and determine how
to make the transition to leaderful behavior.
Joe was formerly Professor of Management
at the Boston College Wallace E. Carroll
School of Management. He received his Ph.D.
from the State University of New York at
Buffalo. His research has centered on executive
and professional education and development.
He is a prolific writer having contributed
articles for the foremost management journals,
among which are some frame-breaking works
that are now heavily cited.
His publications include: The Salaried
Professional: How to Make the Most of Your
Career (Greenwood/Praeger, 1984); The Clash
of Cultures: Managers Managing Professionals
(Harvard Business School Press, 1991), considered
now to be a classic in the field of managing
professionals; the most recent Work-Based
Learning: The New Frontier of Management
Development (Prentice-Hall, the 'OD' Series,
2000); and Creating Leaderful Organizations:
How to Bring Out Leadership in Everyone
(Berrett-Koehler, 2003).
He is also North-American co-editor of
