Produktbeschreibung

Expert contributors on the challenges facing today's business leaders
No business leadership book tackles the tough issues of integrity and governance as does Leadership and Governance from the Inside Out. Taking a uniquely holistic approach to leadership, this book gathers the path-breaking perspectives of influential shareholder activists; opinion-leading CEOs of major firms; trailblazing, distinguished academics; and courageous regulators. The all-star roster of contributors from the corporate world and academia includes Vanguard's John Bogle; former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt; Professor Michael Useem of the Wharton School; Harvard Business School's Rosabeth Moss Kanter and Rakesh Khurana; Robert Lane, CEO of (John) Deere & Company, shareholder activist Nell Minnow; and Philippe Haspeslagh, Professor of Business Policy at INSEAD. Sherron Watkins, Enron whistleblower and Time Person of the Year, shares an inside look at Enron, and Barbara Ley Toffler, former head of Arthur Andersen's Ethics Practice, paints a picture of Anderson Consulting before their fall.
