by Bill Joiner and Stephen Josephs

It is becoming increasingly necessary for today's leaders to be able to quickly adapt to the complex, fast-paced, and ever-changing business environment. Yesterday's leadership mentality and skill set are no longer enough to survive in today's complex world. In their book Leadership Agility, authors Joiner and Josephs highlight what they call the agility imperative: the need for leaders to become more agile in order to both survive and thrive in the new era of business.

Joiner and Josephs do a wonderful job of describing what leadership agility is, why it is so critical in today's world, and what leaders can do to increase their overall agility. Based on research and over three decades of experience, Leadership Agility identifies five different agility levels that leaders move through.

• Expert Level
• Achiever Level
• Catalyst Level
• Co-Creator Level
• Synergist Level

Through their work, authors Joiner and Josephs have provided a roadmap for anyone interested in increasing their leadership capacity and ability to lead. The book shares concrete examples of how business leaders can bring greater agility to their workplace on a daily basis. The book is refreshing, easy to read, and is packed with both insightful and timely information.
