Description
Book Selection - The Leadership Challenge: How to Make Extraordinary Things Happen in Organizations by James M. Kouzes and Barry M. Posner
Business is evolving at an increasingly rapid rate, and leaders must keep pace with the changes or risk stagnation. People work differently, are motivated differently, and have different expectations today - business as usual is quickly losing its effectiveness. A good leader gets things done; a great leader aspires, inspires, and achieves more. (400 pages)
