 Description and Reviews From The Publisher: Cats, of course, won't be herded. And the most successful organizations in the 21st century won't be managed—they'll be led! The answer to America's current leadership crisis is leaders (not managers) who recognize that "the only capital that really counts is human capital." And whether readers are looking for a leader or looking to be a better one, Warren Bennis knows what it takes. Herding Cats spells out the dilemma facing our leaderless society, details the qualities that successful leaders must have, and explores the challenges that today's leaders must face as they move toward change. The 21st century will require leaders who can inspire and orchestrate change rather than impose or simply react to it. Warren Bennis has called Managing People is Like Herding Cats his last and best word on leadership. Herding Cats spells out the dilemma facing our leaderless society, details the qualities that successful leaders must have, and explores the challenges that today's leaders must face as they move toward change. Along the way Bennis challenges our complacency and asks some serious Questions:
