Organisations today Leadership is: Anticipating new realities. Finding new ways to excite managers and employees. Managing a complex network of partnerships with other branches and organisations, locally, nationally and internationally. Management is: Implementing leaders’ vision. Work and organisations change quickly. It can’t be taken for granted that leaders and managers share the same visions. ‘The Thinking Organisation’ The main assets today are the psychological and emotional capacities of the major role holders and clear relationships between them. Hierarchies often disappear, replaced by matrixes and temporary work teams, held together by short-term aims. New leadership and management capabilities are crucial.
