The Leadership Challenge: How to Keep Getting Extraordinary Things Done in Organizations - Rilegato

"Based upon evidence collected from around the world and over decades, The Leadership Challenge provides practical guidance on how to lead and inspiration to make the effort." ––Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor, Stanford Business School and author, The Human Equation: Building Profits by Putting People First. "Kouzes and Posner are correct–leadership hasn′t changed, but the context in which leaders operate has shifted dramatically. And that makes all the difference, as the two authors who have conducted perhaps the most important research on leadership describe in eloquent language and instructive case studies. If you read their first book, it′s time to go back to the classroom and place your knowledge about leadership in a new context. If you didn′t read the first edition, reading this book may be the most important thing you do this year to develop yourself as a leader!" ––Janelle Barlow, president, TMI, US and co–author, A Complaint Is A Gift, Emotional Value, and Smart Videoconferencing

"Kouzes and Posner have written a book of reaffirmation. They have reaffirmed&with scholarship, stories, and their own ability to express ideas clearly&what it takes to lead. They return again and again to the essential qualities and values that enable one person to influence others&the capacity to reach and touch one another as caring, compassionate human beings." ––David Lawrence, MD, chair/CEO, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc.

"Kouzes and Posner give us breadth and depth with real world examples of everyday leadership from everyday people who are meeting the extraordinary challenges of our time. A book of exceptional, real–world insight on what it takes to be a leader in our most complex and challenging times." ––Regis McKenna, chairman, The McKenna Group and author, Total Access

"The Leadership Challenge has been my primary leadership text since 1988. It is the blue print for getting others to want to do what we are convinced needs to be done and is required reading for anyone who aspires to be a next–generation leader." Andy Stanley, founding pastor, North Point Community Church

"In The Leadership Challenge, chairs, deans, and provosts will find inspiration as well as practical suggestions that fit well with the difficult situations with which leaders in the academy struggle." ––Ann Lucas, professor of Organization Development, Fairleigh Dickinson University, and author of Strengthening Departmental Leadership and Leading Academic Change
