Business Leadership

Produktbeschreibung

More than just a collection of short "greatest hits," this revision is based on a conceptual philosophy - that leadership is not exclusively tied to position in the hierarchy or limited to title and formal authority. Everyone has a responsibility to lead, and leaders need to be dispersed throughout and down through all levels of an organization.

"This volume reflects decades of work by multiple individuals to identify common principles of success and the leadership that helps to generate it."
-From the Introduction by Ronald A. Heifetz, author, Leadership Without Easy Answers and coauthor, Leadership on the Line

The second edition of best-selling Business Leadership contains the best thinking on leadership from the biggest names in the business. It offers leaders everything they need to know to prepare for today's-and tomorrow's-leadership challenges: how to understand the leadership process, identify opportunities, get things started right, avoid predictable pitfalls, and maximize success. Effective leaders use mind, heart, and spirit in their work, and this volume is designed to guide and support leaders in their efforts. With an introduction by Joan V. Gallos-editor of the highly praised Organization Development: A Jossey-Bass Reader-the author list for this invaluable resource reads like the who's who of business leadership.
