21st Century Leadership: Harnessing Innovation, Accelerating Business Success Melvin B. Greer Jr.

It's time to incorporate cutting-edge technologies to enhance your leadership skills and inspire future innovators. Melvin Greer, the founder and managing director of the Greer Institute for Leadership and Innovation in Washington, D. C., takes a fresh look at how to fill the leadership gap in this guidebook to leadership. He demonstrates ways to; rethink assumptions and myths about innovation; develop leadership habits that lead to high performance; develop a successful workforce and talent management strategy; and; create a modern innovation pipeline via STEM. We can no longer confine knowledge about information technology to just one department. Just as leaders need to know how to read a profit and loss statement or interpret a balance sheet, they must also understand how technology can impact business strategy. A twenty-first-century leader must understand behavioral, economic, and social shifts in order to capitalize on opportunities and achieve success. Whether you're an executive, senior manager, a new hire, a teacher, or a student, you must use twenty-first-century leadership if you want to succeed.
