Description
The Future of Leadership presents nineteen original chapters from a stellar group of scholars and experts-including Bennis himself-who represent the leading thinkers in management today, as well as some of the newest up-and-coming leaders. This seminal work reveals their collective wisdom and candid speculations about the future of leadership and the new economy. No other book available on the topic offers the caliber of contributors and the range of thinking included here. Leadership experts such as Charles Handy, Tom Peters, Edward Lawler, Jim Kouzes, and Barry Posner, as well as young Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, present their valuable insights into the challenges leaders are likely to face as the new millennium unfolds. They examine an array of timely questions about leadership such as: Why do we tolerate bad leaders? Why is leadership everyone's business? How will ethics play into new leadership? And how does the new economy influence leadership? Whether in the private or public sectors, both new and seasoned executives and administrators will find this stimulating book to be a provocative and insightful read, one valuable for their own understanding and professional development. Researchers and academics who study organizations and leadership will use the book as a rich source of issues for future inquiry and a confirmation or challenge to their own speculations about the future of leadership.
