The Power of Invisible Leadership: How a Compelling Common Purpose Inspires Exceptional Leadership

by Gill Robinson Hickman and Georgia J. Sorenson

Book Overview

A powerful force draws people to leadership in countless businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and social movements--we call it invisible leadership. Invisible leadership embodies situations in which dedication to a compelling and deeply held common purpose is the motivating force for leadership. The Power of Invisible Leadership: How a Compelling Common Purpose Inspires Exceptional Leadership, by Gill Robinson Hickman and Georgia L. Sorenson, is a readable, research-based book that shows readers how invisible leadership exists in the space between leaders and followers, artists and subjects, and purposes and people. Rather than reinforcing the idea that leadership is embodied in celebrity leaders or in gifted and charismatic individuals, this insightful new book identifies "charisma of purpose" as the motivating force for invisible leadership.
