Evolutionaries: Transformational Leadership: the Missing Link in Your Organizational Chart

by Randy Harrington, Carmen E. Voillequ

Evolutionaries are people who lead companies, systems, industries, communities and even nations through transformative change. You can find Evolutionaries hidden inside organizations - often their role is on the periphery. They are the people in the Research and Development Department, the innovation labs, the skunk works, but there are other times when they are more central. We believe that time is now. As we emerge from the Great Recession, the economic landscape has changed. The game is different now, and it will never go back to the way it was. Whether we like it or not, the new economy demands leaders that are agile, adaptable, innovative and visionary. Today's organizations need Evolutionaries more than ever before. Evolutionaries are not new. They have always been around. But what is different now is that they are the ones that are transforming the economy for a successful future. So whether you are an Evolutionary, you know an Evolutionary, or you are looking for one, this book is for you. If you can harness the capabilities of the Evolutionary leader and align them to your organization's strategic vision, you are golden. If not, you will only fall further behind the curve.

Despite knowing many of the companies and projects referenced within, this book did not answer many questions for me.
