Leadership

21st Century Food for Thought

“Leadership: 21st Century Food for Thought,” by Colin Maxwell offers a comprehensive examination of modern leadership principles and business management strategies. The book explores critical topics, including ethical leadership, servant leadership, Japanese management techniques, labor relations, gender dynamics in the workplace, the “work family,” remote working, virtual management, disaster preparedness, and artificial intelligence’s evolving role. With practical insights into team building, conflict resolution, and corporate social responsibility, it serves as both a theoretical foundation and a practical guide for today’s business leaders. While some case studies could benefit from updating to reflect more recent developments, the book remains highly relevant for professionals and students, providing valuable perspectives on navigating contemporary organizational challenges with vision and integrity.
