In this book the author claims that leaders are made, not born, and that most people have the capacity for leadership, if they are willing to embark on a journey of self-discovery and understanding. The author examines the leadership vacuum, and explores why we produce endless celebrities, yet very few men and women of real achievement. Then he identifies the basic ingredients of leadership and analyzes the difference between managers and leaders. He also examines the key factors for successful leadership in the future and closes with a chapter on how organizations of all kinds can best develop leaders.
