Leaders have a new coach… Guess who? Change is the name of the game in today’s complex and turbulent business environment. Today’s leader must be a visionary, creative, independent thinker and a bold executor. How can such leadership be inspired? The evocative answer is hiding behind some surprising questions: - What do the artist Pablo Picasso and Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos have in common? - What distinguishes a Manager from a Leader and a Craftsman from an Artist? - What can today’s business leaders learn from artists? Leadership Framed by Art breathes new life into the concept of leadership with innovative originality. It uncovers the eye-opening parallels between modern visual art and business leadership. Key concepts such as vision, managing change, and innovation , are inspired by illustrations from predominant artists. Insights from the world of art are then linked to the wisdom of Bill Gates of Microsoft, Jack Dorsey of Twitter, Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook, Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan Chase and countless other great business leaders. Iris Lavy’s thesis is clear and concise: Pablo Picasso or Andy Warhol were and still are cultural leaders. They ran counter to the accepted models of the time, promoted fresh thinking while breaking the boundaries to oppose blind obedience to norms. Modern artists called on their peers to follow them out and to gallop ahead on the high wire between consensus and the great unknown. This is exactly the kind of leadership needed in the current challenging and yet exciting business world arena of the 21st century. Leadership Framed by Art contains vibrantly full-color art works as well as many links to videos and additional art works of leading artists. It is an excellent resource and a great gift book to any leader or leader-to-be. Scroll up and grab your copy of Leadership Framed by Art now! "Iris Lavy has written a book as creative as its theme.

"By discussing art and leadership together, Iris Lavy has given us a brilliantly creative perspective on leadership of any kind. Anyone interested in running a team or organization, or in understanding those who do, should read this book." Jeffrey E. Garten, Dean Emeritus, YALE School of Management. Former undersecretary of commerce in the first Clinton administration "True leadership, like great art, is a gift. It comes from a place deep within. It is inspired by a vision no one else can see and driven by implacable passion and energy to achieve outcomes that are not negotiable. True leadership, like great art, can be unsettling. We may love its freshness or we may fear its disruption of the old order. Iris Lavy has shown us that great artists and true leaders affect us in complex ways we may not always like or understand at the time, but invariably they leave the world a richer place. We know great art when we see it and we recognize true leaders when they pass our way."
