John Kotter of the Harvard Business School is one of a number of experts who believe that organisations are over managed and under led, at least partially because people do not appreciate the differences between management and leadership. We start this book by challenging mental models of leadership and management. Agility has become a prerequisite for organisations in a business environment that is characterised by change.

Second, leadership is no longer the preserve of those in positions in the management hierarchy. Increasingly it is dispersed through the organisation.
