Organizations often declare that their biggest asset is their people. As such, business leaders make constant efforts to hire the best talent – and to get the best out of their workers. But a confluence of forces is reshaping all aspects of talent management. A war for talent rages and will be exacerbated in the long-term by demographic aging; the half-life of skills is decreasing as AI powers more parts of business workflows; flexible and hybrid work models are becoming commonplace; and management methods focused on measurement and efficiency are not sufficient for engaging a purpose-seeking generation. In these turbulent times, CEOs and their entire teams – not just HR – need to reth...

Leading Experts explores how to lead expert team members who constitute the intellectual capital of organisations. These clever workers – who often have more expertise than their supervisor in their fields – do not passively accept being told what to do. They know their worth, they want a voice, and they will leave the organisation if it does not allow them to actualise their potential. In a knowledge economy, we cannot afford to lose them. The book, based on the author’s doctoral and subsequent research, presents leadership in this context as primarily a mutually collaborative relationship. It highlights three areas: • The type of organisational environment that attracts and keeps intellectual talent • The leader-follower relationship as the key to develop, motivate and retain expert team members • The individual values and skills that enhance the leader-follower relationship. The benefits of this approach include greater staff retention and knowledge transfer, plus a more fulfilling work life for everyone. This book is suitable for everyone who leads at least one expert follower, and for leadership students aspiring to do so.
