Description
Kouzes and Posner, both affiliated with the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University, update and revise this fourth edition of a "personal coach in a book" for a new generation of leaders working in the global environment. Their evidence-based leadership model is based on the five practices of modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, challenging the process, enabling others to act, and encouraging the heart. The book is not about famous people or people in positions of high power; instead, the case stories are about ordinary people exercising leadership at its best. The authors have written other books on leadership. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
