Synopsis

This book dissects the process of transformational leadership and gives managers specific ideas for transforming their own companies. The book breaks down transformation into a "Three Act" process - how to identify where change is needed, how to develop a long-range vision of what should be done, and how to translate that vision into action. Interviews with executives at various stages of transformation - from those working to revitalize struggling companies to those seeking to anticipate new markets from a position of strength - give managers insights into the obstacles they can expect and how successful transformational leaders overcome them.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Now in paper! The blueprint for instituting change used by America′s top CEOs!

THE TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER

Lee Iacocca is one. So is GE′s Jack Welch. And Unisys′s Michael Blumenthal. They′re "transformational" leaders––a special breed capable of managing the kind of massive turnaround most U.S. companies will have to undergo in the next decade to stay competitive. But what makes them able to steer their huge organizations down new paths? The Transformational Leader gives senior executives and managers the answers, not by profiling personalities, but by dissecting the process of transformational leadership and giving managers specific ideas for transforming their own companies.
