This book describes a new model of leadership - the Leadership-Map - that helps executive
managers to navigate the intricacies and complexity of their executive functions. From her 20
years of experience Ruth Seliger has learned that leadership is more a question of organization
than personality which is why established ideas of what to do or not to do as an executive are
short-sighted and often misleading. The introductory part of the book outlines the specific
dilemmas and challenges of leadership and establishes a basis in systems theory. This is
followed by a presentation of the main dimensions of leadership according to the
Leadership-Map: practice profession and process of leadership. Finally the author points out
the latest developments in Positive Leadership. Like a good map the book is very practice and
reader-oriented: numerous case examples many charts exercises and tests present a vivid image
of the complex material. Ruth Seliger Dr. studied Pedagogy Economic and Social History
Philosophy 1986 foundation of Train Consulting has been an executive partner ever since.
Training in Systemic Consulting Appreciative Inquiry and large group methods.
