Description
Until now, the toughest question in business has always been: How can one learn to be an effective leader, not just a manager. In the past, the answer was that people were either bom leaders, or that "great situations" thrust leadership on ordinary people. But a new, revolutionary look at today's best leaders shows that they have developed their skills and taught themselves the competencies of leadership.Based on original, in-depth analyses of 90 top leaders-executives at companies like GM, ARCO, and Lever Brothers; senators, governors, and labor leaders; orchestra conductors, film producers, college presidents, and athletic coaches, among others-Leaders reveals the skills and strategies found in the country's best leaders. Management experts Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus reveal the strategies that any manager-cum-leader must learn: How do leaders get their people to focus on their goals? How do they align them behind these goals? How do they establish a sense of trust in their leadership and create an atmosphere of self-respect for others? Here are real answers to each of these questions through careful study of awide range of professionals at the helm. No other book is so thorough in discovering, analyzing, and interpreting the qualities that will enable any manager to take charge and lead.
