Foreword
It is a great honor for me that my book has been translated into English as well as Chinese which makes the concept of systemic leadership accessible to an international audience. Furthermore, it shows how this concept is gaining momentum internationally. Although the cultural, social and historical premises are different in different regions of the world, the basic assumptions of systemic leadership concerning success and impact to be found in this book, especially in the second chapter, remain perfectly applicable all around the globe. Leadership is an art of creating a world that others would love to be a part of. This fundamental principle of leadership is valid worldwide. I am deeply convinced that we can only shape and bear this planet if executives focus on the aspects of appraisal, trust and network establishment and put less emphasis on authority and formal powers.
