Synopsis

Change: Becoming a Confident and Bold Leader is a collection of 26 articles examining leadership and the organizational conditions that influence performance.

Drawing on decades of experience and observation across businesses and industries, Paul R. Fournier explores how leadership, culture, strategy, communication, customers, relationships, revenue, and organizational structure interact to shape the performance of an organization.

The book is organized around three areas: leadership; customers, revenue, and relationships; and culture management and organizational structure. Each article considers a different aspect of organizational performance while encouraging readers to look beyond individual management practices and examine how the organization functions as a whole.

Fournier's work is grounded in four fundamental Cornerstones: Leadership, Culture, Strategy, and Communication. Leadership establishes direction. Strategy establishes priorities. Culture shapes behavior and performance. Communication connects the organization and enables people to understand and act upon its direction.

Effective leadership requires more than authority or position. It requires clarity, sound judgment, accountability, communication, and an understanding of how people contribute to organizational performance. Leaders establish expectations, create accountability, make decisions, and influence the environment in which people work. Their decisions affect customers, employees, relationships, revenue, and the organization's ability to execute its strategy.

Each article concludes with Points to Ponder, questions designed to challenge assumptions, encourage critical thinking, and prompt readers to examine their own leadership, organization, and performance.

Change is not simply about becoming a better leader. It is about developing a deeper understanding of how leadership influences the organization and how organizations can better align people, behavior, strategy, and communication to create meaningful and sustainable performance.
