Abstract:

"In E-Leader, Robert Hargrove argues that the key distinguishing element of the "new" economy is the degree to which people with different talents, perspectives, and ideas can be brought together to generate products, services, business models, and even organizations never before possible. The most important role of leaders at all levels is to sculpt these new patterns of relationship and interaction - and harness the resulting energy. Catalyzing this alchemy will require an entirely new approach to leadership, in both mindset and behavior." "Through colorful, in-depth profiles of such mavericks as Pehong Chen of BroadVision, Jeff Taylor of Monster.com, and Avram Miller of Intel, Hargrove provides eye-opening insights into the fundamental shifts a leader needs to make in order to succeed: from "CEO as steward" to "CEO as entrepreneur," from "game player" to "game changer," from "top-down management" to "lateral leadership"--And provides practical guidelines for making the transition. He also points out that many dot.coms have failed because their leaders mistook the new technologies and channels themselves for real, value-creating innovations." "E-Leader is not about how to run a successful e-venture. Rather, it's a invitation to embrace the creative qualities and attitudes of the Internet culture and apply them everywhere, to unleash innovation and inspire a sense of possibility throughout the organization."--Jacket.
