the Economy Uncertain, Education In Decline, Cities Under Siege, Crime And Poverty Spiraling Upward, International Relations Roiling: We Look To Leaders For Solutions, And When They Don't Deliver, We Simply Add Their Failure To Our List Of Woes. In Doing Do, We Do Them And Ourselves A Grave Disservice. We Are Indeed Facing An Unprecedented Crisis Of Leadership, Ronald Heifetz Avows, But It Stems As Much From Our Demands And Expectations As From Any Leader's Inability To Meet Them. His Book Gets At Both Of These Problems, Offering A Practical Approach To Leadership For Those Who Lead As Well As Those Who Look To Them For Answers. Fitting The Theory And Practice Of Leadership To Our Extraordinary Times, The Book Promotes A New Social Contract, A Revitalization Of Our Civic Life Just When We Most Need It.
drawing On A Dozen Years Of Research Among Managers, Officers, And Politicians In The Public Realm And The Private Sector, Among The Nonprofits, And In Teaching, Heifetz Presents Clear, Concrete Prescriptions For Anyone Who Needs To Take The Lead In Almost Any Situation, Under Almost Any Organizational Conditions, No Matter Who Is In Charge, His Strategy Applies Not Only To People At The Top But Also To Those Who Must Lead Without Authorityactivists As Well As Presidents, Managers As Well As Workers On The Front Line.

Lettieri - Choicethis Pioneering Study Constitutes One Of The Most Insightful And Innovative Approaches To Leadership Studies In Over A Decade...heifetz Masterfully Presents His New Leadership Model By Intertwining General Theory And Prescriptive Practical Guidance Through Fertile Historical And Work-place Case Studies. Heifetz's Goal Is Nothing Less Than A Summoning For A New Social Contract That Seeks To Revitalize America's Civic Ethos By Adopting Leadership Strategies To Empower The Citizenry Rather Than To Merely Enhance The Authority Of The Leader...the Upshot Of This Study Should Place It In The Front Line In Leadership Historiography For Years To Come.
