Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:

Since its premier issue, the award-winning journal Leader to Leader has presented the best thinking of leaders, for leaders. This first collection of articles from the journal brings together the timely but classic wisdom of world-renowned leaders, best-selling writers, legendary thinkers, and esteemed business philosophers. Though the authors write from diverse perspectives and present their own thoughts, they weave a coherent tapestry of themes. The chapters present a vital examination of mission, leadership, innovation, the discipline of transformation, and the building of effective, productive institutions.
