About the Book

This book enables practice of leadership by practitioners by providing know-how to resolve questions, such as: How is the hourglass model different from the traditional pathways of leadership? How do we widen and deepen our repertoire of experiences and learn to connect the right knowledge to the right experience in order to climb-up the hourglass? How to decide in an uncertain and unstable milieu prevailing in the Indian informal systems? What are “rules in form” and “rules in use” in the distinct Indian culture and how to mobilize and deploy them to achieve proficient performance most of the time? How to convert political “interference” to engagement in order to deliver results? How to achieve dual positive outcomes, which are valuable to the political executive and citizens? Can goals be achieved in the face of conflicts? Can some general laws and universal principles guide decision-making? How to add value to work-time? How to overcome popular belief that most administrators are exposed to certain experiences throughout their lives without being affected by them while performing more proficiently most of the time owing to their overconfidence in intuition and misattributing the cause of events? If decision-making is largely non-linear in informal systems, what is the role of the scientific-technical rationality in decision-making? Under what circumstance is holding back decisions likely to lead to goal achievement? How to construct public interest when faced with competing and conflicting demands of individuals, groups or people and interest groups? How to subvert gaming and cronyism? Using New Institutional Economics, how to make proficient decisions, again and again, and still not get transferred? Is effective action possible in short job tenures? How to add value during meetings and make them more productive? What is the nature of innovation in the public domain and how to pursue it? How to become excellent decision-makers, that is, size up a situation and make a rapid decision, by applying the right knowledge to the right experience, which is not only good, but brilliant?
