About this ebook
“An insightful book that should be read by every manager aspiring to be a true leader. . . . One of the most important books of its type” (Chicago Tribune).
In this illuminating study of corporate America’s most critical issue—leadership—world-renowned leadership guru Warren Bennis and his co-author Burt Nanus reveal the four key principles every manager should know: Attention Through Vision, Meaning Through Communication, Trust Through Positioning, and The Deployment of Self.
In this age of “process,” with downsizing and restructuring affecting many workplaces, companies have fallen trap to lack of communication and distrust, and vision and leadership are needed more than ever before. The wisdom and insight in Leaders address this need. It is an indispensable source of guidance all readers will appreciate, whether they’re running a small department or in charge of an entire corporation.
“One of the top fifty business books of all time.” —Financial Times
“At a time when corporations need fewer managers to hold things in place and more leaders to guide change, this book provides a valuable addition to an executive’s repertoire.” —Rosabeth Moss Kanter
“All American managers should listen closely to this message and act! Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus have written a masterpiece, a thriller. . . . We owe these two men a debt of gratitude.” —Tom Peters
