Flawed but Willing:
Leading Large Organizations in the Age of Connection
Instability, disturbance, emergence, networks, informal learning, trial, error, adaptability, low growth, fluctuation and momentum these are the experiences that dominate the lives of today s business leaders. There is a growing awareness that the old industrial constructs of detailed planning, perfection and process are no longer working as effectively as we might wish in our large, established organisations. This book is a challenge to the way we relate to each other and lead businesses in the post-industrial age; it is full of passionate stories, reflections and insights. The writing inspires the practice of alternative forms of courage, acceptance of our imperfections and new methods of contact with each other as we navigate the changing nature of the workplace.
“Flawed But Willing does not preach or promise to be a “how to” management guide. Instead, Khurshed creates a series of mental prompts for the reader to consider by sharing stories based on his extensive experience of working with senior executives. Khurshed’s unique style is effective in enabling the reader to personalize the subject matter in a way that will help them better connect with others, deal with the messiness of true engagement in complex organizations and lead in a world that demands a new set of skills.”
