Now, faced with the new challenges of our unpredictable global business environment, Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner--two of the country's premier leadership experts--have completely revised and updated their classic book. Building on the knowledge base of their previous books, the third edition of The Leadership Challenge is grounded in extensive research and based on interviews with all kinds of leaders at all levels in public and private organizations from around the world. In this edition, the authors emphasize that the fundamentals of leadership are the same today as they were in the 1980s, and as they've probably been for centuries. In that sense, nothing's new. Leadership is not a fad. While the content of leadership has not changed, the context has-and in some cases, changed dramatically. Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner–two of the country’s premier leadership experts–have completely updated their classic leadership book to meet the challenge of today’s uncertain business environment. Grounded in extensive research and based on hundreds of interviews, The Leadership Challenge captures the continuing interest in leadership in government, corporations, religious groups, and throughout all society. With engaging stories and keen insights, the authors delve into the fundamental aspects of leadership and address the topics that are as current as today’s headlines–speed, the changing workforce, and team-oriented work relationships. Throughout this revised classic, Kouzes and Posner show that not only is leadership everybody’s business but it is a relationship–one of personal self-development and the development of those being led. The book has been reorganized to be a handy "workshop in a book" and contains a wealth of compelling new examples and stories of real leaders that underscore the authors’ basic premise. Those who have a well-worn copy of The Leadership Challenge will want several copies of this thoroughly revised and updated edition–one to keep and some to give away. And first-time readers will discover why The Leadership Challenge is one of the bestselling leadership books of all time. Reviews "For twenty-five years I have written about and taught leadership.
