| Publisher Description: The heavy weight one faces in organizational life is the amazingly difficult nature of leadership. One is burdened to determine how to make sense of leadership, and most important, how to actually use the strong concepts that great writers, leaders, thinkers and practitioners have built and used over the course of human history. The answers to most of one's questions about leadership have been addressed. Despite the continued value of breaking new ground with new thought leaders, the problem of great leadership still exists. New management theory exists in the margins, not at all a bad thing necessarily, but the core is already built and largely exposed. Nevertheless, practicing and executing great leadership continues to be elusive. If this was not the case, great thinkers and practitioners the world over, would be agreeing the secret has been identified. Additionally, the countless ethical and financial blunders that plague the economy would only be found in history; instead, they are indeed found everyday and they even create fear of the future. The key to the problem of understanding and executing leadership fundamentals is approaching leadership in ways that creatively use the wisdom, experience and learning of others to help one make sense of their own development and challenges. The book, The Choice of Leadership: Bridging the Gap Between Simplicity and Complexity will help answer the great questions and clear the path in making the choice of leadership possible. |
