On the one hand, the age of the Internet has ushered in an unprecedented interdependence. People from far-flung reaches of the globe now find themselves in close contact, and collaboration is the order of the day. On the other hand, we still live in an autonomous world of diverse nations and unique individuals, and the businesses and organizations that we have created to represent us are equally unique. In this conflicting environment, a special approach to leadership is called for, one that tames these two forces and integrates them in a political but ethical way. The Connective Leadership model defines that approach, emphasizing various modes of working with and through other people instead of bowing to authoritarianism. This includes creating short-term coalitions instead of long-term alliances and forming ennobling enterprises to which people want to commit themselves. Based on extensive research analyzing the leadership styles of more than 5,000 leaders and managers world-wide, Lipman-Blumen has developed an innovative nine-part strategy for flourishing despite the demands of inter- and intraorganizational relationships. Connective Leadership begins by examining the origins and evolution of the human need for leadership. It then presents a detailed explanation of the Connective Leadership Model, showing leaders how to move beyond competition towards an ethical instrumentalism that employs the talents of others to achieve strategic goals. And in a final section, it explores the empirical organizational results and the philosophical implications of that model. Thoroughly researched and accessibly written, this book provides the skills and information needed to move organizations, nations, and people into the emerging era with stellar results. Reviews [Lippman-Blumen's] book will clearly be one of the most seminal and exciting books about this elusive and important factor for some time to come. Quite simply the book is a masterpiece. —Warren Bennis
 Reader's Index Send us your favorite quotes or passages from this book. • "Leaders who can work effectively with others—that is, multiple networks of leaders—know the algorithm for developing community. Achieving community goals requires leaders who can avoid tripping over their egos, who can resist the urge to become the leader of all leaders. An interdependent environment calls for leaders who can relate as peers to other leaders in other institutions worldwide. In the Connective Era, leaders cannot just issue orders; instead, they have to join forces, persuade, and negotiate to resolve conflicts. " Pg. 20 About the Author Jean Lipman-Blumen is Thornton F.
