Kort BeskrivningLeadership is a crucial factor in the long-term success of an organisation. A manager is in the position of being able to use leadership to influence both organisational outcomes such as effectiveness and quality and worker health. This work examines these critical concerns and describes successful strategies which can help to increase organisational effectiveness, build quality in an organisation and improve employee health.
The five empirical studies underlying this book look at a numder of successful organisations from a leadership perspective. The studies focus on a central question: How can managers both build effective organisations and have healthy employees? The book answers with a description, discussion and outline of winning strategies concerning elements of leadership values and behaviours to use along with supportive leadership tools such as management control models for health.
A new statistically supported early-warning system which targets worker health is one important outcome from this research. the system uses a tool called a "control chart" to assess the numerical indicators of self-assessed general health and new sick-cases per emmployee. The system is sensitive to both minor and major changes and the subjective health indicator also predicts sickness trends. Managers have advance warning and can act on measured health changes before they cause significantly increased levels of emloyee sickness. The system has féw false alarms; no more than once every 30 years when the recommended frequency of monthly control charts is followed.
Besides the results from empirical studies and accompanying theoretical models, this book includes systematic reviews of other studies from around the world within the area of leadership. Several practical insights and guidelines can be found and the book concludes with the description of my integrative model of successful leadership.
This book is for managers, human resource specialists, academic students or other persons interested in the topic of leadership and leadership development.
