John P. Kotter, who focused on why we have a leadership crisis in The Leadership Factor shows here, with compelling evidence, what leadership really means today. He discusses why it is rarely associated with larger-than-life charismatics, precisely how it is different from management, and yet why both good leadership and management are essential for business success, especially for complex organizations operating in changing environments.

Leadership, Kotter clearly demonstrates, is in fact a process that creates change, which often involves hundreds or even thousands of "little acts of leadership" orchestrated by people who have the profound insight to realize this process.
