From wannabe to can be - this is a book on 21st-century leadership. The technological and marketplace challenges that only yesterday seemed like speculation are now a reality. The future is here. And so is the best advice available on becoming-and being-the kind of leader a truly twenty-first-century firm needs. Outlining the principles and key ideas of such innovative thinkers as Warren Bennis, Noel Tichy, and Gary Hamel, "Smart Things to Know About Leadership" also describes the seven fundamentals of effective leadership: motivation, learning, strategic sensitivity, communication, global thinking, balance, and courage. This new volume in the "Smart Things to Know" series features its unique "build-your-own-book" format as well as convenient quick-tips, essential to providing readers (and soon-to-be leaders) with an entirely new learning experience.
