As a result, today’s leaders, from startup founders to the managers of global giants, face unprecedented pressures from their bosses, investors, customers, peers, suppliers, and employees. For many, it’s a recipe for disaster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart of the problem is that these challenges, while acutely felt, are rarely articulated in a way that makes them graspable and actionable. Robert E. Siegel has witnessed the impact of these cross-pressures from different perspectives. As a lecturer in management at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, an operator, a venture capitalist, and a consultant, he sees countless teams of managers, at all sorts of companies, struggling to lead their companies into the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing exclusive lessons drawn from inside the business world, including from the CEOs of Accenture, Mubadala, Kering, Wells Fargo, and Box, this essential guidebook teaches readers “systems leadership,” Siegel’s holistic framework that helps leaders understand and master five key dimensions where they are likely to feel contradictory pressures:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePriorities:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The need to succeed at both execution and innovation\u003cbr\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePeople:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The need to project both strength and empathy\u003cbr\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eSphere of influence:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The need to focus both internally and externally\u003cbr\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eGeography:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The need to think both locally and globally\u003cbr\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePurpose:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The need to pursue both ambition and statesmanship\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A compelling exploration of the challenges facing today's business leaders.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e—François-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO, Kering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Systems Leader\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is Robert Siegel at his best. . . .
