The “Map of Good Leadership” is intended to be a map for better leadership, as a kind of auxiliary tool for self-assessment. It is an attempt to notice and point out the archetypal in leadership. More than that – it is an attempt to get those who dare to undertake the task of leading their environment to discover and cultivate the primal virtues of good leadership in themselves.

It is intended for mayors who want to lead their environment even better: by noticing, using and developing their leadership characteristics. This book aims to encourage local leaders to reflect on their leadership characteristics. In this way, they can become more aware of their strengths, but also their weaknesses. In this regard, at the end of each chapter there is a case study that comes from the book “A Primer on Good Leadership – It is Good to Lead Well”. After each of these studies there are questions for reflection. Answers to these questions are not offered because there are always several solutions that are more or less good, depending on the characteristics of the leader and the circumstances in which they operate.

The “Map of Good Leadership” is a precursor to Edapedia – an interactive knowledge center for local leaders in the Balkans, a project implemented by the development agency Eda Banja Luka with the support of the Open Society Fund.

Mapa dobrog liderstva

„Mapa dobrog liderstva“ je zamišljena da bude mapa za bolje liderstvo, kao neka vrsta pomoćnog alata za samoprocjenu. Radi se o pokušaju da se uoči i ukaže na arhetipsko u liderstvu. Više od toga – radi se o pokušaju da se oni koji se odvažuju na poduhvat vođenja svoje sredine navedu da kod sebe otkrivaju i odgajaju iskonske vrline dobrog liderstva.

Namijenjena je za načelnike koji žele da još bolje vode svoju sredinu: uočavajući, koristeći i razvijajući svoje liderske karakteristike. Ova knjiga teži da podstakne lokalne lidere da razmisle o svojim liderskim osobenostima. Tako mogu da postanu svjesniji svojih snaga, ali i slabosti. S tim u vezi na kraju svakog poglavlja nalazi se po jedna studija slučaja koje potiču iz knjige „Bukvar dobrog liderstva – dobro je dobro voditi“. Poslije svake od ovih studija nalaze se pitanja za razmišljanje. Odgovori na ova pitanja nisu ponuđeni jer uvijek ima nekoliko rješenja koja su manje ili više dobra, u zavisnosti od karakteristika lidera i samih okolnosti u kojima se djeluje.

„Mapa dobrog liderstva“ je prethodnica za Edapediju – interaktivni centar znanja za lokalne lidere na Balkanu, projekat koji uz podršku Fonda otvoreno društvo implementira razvojna agencija Eda Banja Luka.
