Leadership

"LEADERSHIP" by Jim Selman. In this book, Jim Selman presents essays written between 1998 and 2010. The common thread of these essays is that leaders are committed to creating the future. The author post's that the majority of the recurring problems that we have today cannot be solved within the historical and cultural context in which they came about. He suggests that the largest collective problem that we have is a "problem of paradigm" -- the type of problem that does not have a solution. In other words, Selman proposed that solving the problems is a manager's task. Creating problems that deserve to be solved, is the leader's task. In His opinion, leadership is a linguistic phenomenon and a constant process of transformation based on personal responsibility and commitment. From his ontological discipline we begin to observe that paradigms are linguistic interpretations and see how human beings achieve breakthrough results by inventing new futures for themselves, their organization and the global community.
