Entrenched bureaucracy, ominous social trends, and mind-numbing routine are among its members - and their proliferation is an unfortunate sign of our time. But take heart. In this highly acclaimed work, legendary management consultant Warren Bennis unmasks the culprits, analyzes their tactics, and offers new insights for change agents struggling to take chare in an era that conspires against effective leadership. Bennis teaches leaders to maximize their virtues, correct their faults, face change successfully, and love their work. Leaders will win, but so will their organizations: Bennis advocates a collaborative leadership that empowers employees and enhances organizational effectiveness. So learn why leaders can't lead. Then learn how they can lead. This book--alive with warmth and wisdom--is essential reading both for leaders and for the human resource professionals who teach them. Reviews A priceless gift to those seeking to be accountable leaders. —Max De Pree, author of Leading Without Power! Only Warren Bennis has the unique combination of thirty years' study of leaders and leadership and twenty years' practical experience as COO and CEO of large and difficult organizations that makes Why Leaders Can't Lead the best book on how leaders can lead." —Peter Drucker Warren Bennis is one of the most perceptive and experienced writers on leadership and management. . . . He knows a lot about why our common efforts don't work and how they might be made to work. The book is full of lively insights expressed in vivid terms." —John W. Gardner, former Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, and founding chairman of Common Cause This is vintage Bennis! Bennis at his best! —Robert Townsand, author of Up the Organization and Further Up the Organization
