Artful Leadership


Artful Leadership: Awakening the Commons of the Imagination by Michael Jones.


No, not the notable NZ All Black, but a man who deals with notes of a different kind. Jones' earlier working career was as a leadership consultant, but in his spare time he played piano and composed music. One day he realised the music was too integral a part of him to neglect, and over the next decade or more, he's produced some fifteen albums of solo piano music. He's now done some further integrating, and uses his piano music and performance in his speaking career.

This is his second book,(his first is Creating an Imaginative Life) and you can read the first chapter, A Walk in the Park: the personal and social artistry of leadership, online.

Great Leaders

All Organisations Need Great Leaders, by Malcolm Park.


“Anyone who is a leader needs to be aware that their values, moral code, lifestyle choices and work/life balance are noticed and often emulated by others. Talk alone is not enough. Leaders set by example.” It’s still possible to learn from poor leaders.

From March 2008 edition of Management Matters, the monthly newsletter of NZ Institute of Management Southern.
