Leaders are individuals who help to create options and opportunities for those they lead. The 21st century leaders face different and more complex types of challenges that cannot be found in the prevailing literature. Disruptive strategy calls for disruptive leadership and this book shares a wide range of disruptive leadership competencies. This research-based contemporary guidebook by Dr. Carroll will serve as a modern-day leadership manual because it is a practical application what she calls the 'Disruptive Work Theory.' The practical examples included in this work are from the incumbent world leaders to inspired tech entrepreneurs and business leaders. The book simply embodies the concept of disruption for success and gives practical solutions to solve current day leadership challenges. Market dynamics and competitive business landscapes call for leaders who can easily adjust to changes due to their view of the actions from a distance and through active involvement of that action. Surviving today's rapidly changing business and economic environments requires members of the organizations to be adaptable, flexible, and ready to change. Change is imperative for both individuals and organizations due to the competitive conditions facing 21st century organizations. Leadership both positional and non-positional is the key to a successful change initiative. A leader capable of handling rapid change must be able to adapt effectively to the pressures and demands of the moment. This type of leadership is known as disruptive leadership. Disruptive leaders provide direction, protection, orientation, conflict control, and the shaping of norms while overseeing the change process within the corporate structure. The goal of this text is to describe the considerations of a disruptive leader that are related to the change management. Evaluate how disruptive leadership factors impact on followers in implementing change. Discuss the various leadership styles used in previous change initiatives. The disruptive leadership style may be the most required approach to support strategic change.
