This trusted leadership resource is now updated and revised for a new generation. After twenty years in print and three editions, this text continues to be a bestseller and premier resource on becoming a leader. This new edition, with streamlined text, more international and business examples, and a graphic redesign, offers more readability and accessibility. The fourth edition has been updated with the latest research and case studies, and offers new stories of real people achieving extraordinary results. The authors’ central theme remains: “Leadership is Everyone’s Business.” The “Five Practices” and “Ten Commitments” have been proven by many dedicated, successful leaders. This edition, with almost one-third new material, places the emphasis on the global community and business leaders.
