by Peter Koestenbaum

Business consultant and philosopher, Peter Loestenbaum, offers his highly personal view of the characteristics great leaders have in common - realism, vision, ethics, and courage - and outlines strategies managers can use to achieve and sustain both personal and organizational greatness. Koestenbaum tells how personal growth can translate into profits at the organizational level, and he challenges managers to give meaning to their lives through the quality of their work. He argues that the need for profit and productivity must be balanced with individual human needs

by Peter Koestenbaum

Published 10 December 2007

It has been more than a decade since the first edition of Peter Koestenbaum's landmark book Leadership: The Inner Side of Greatness was published. Since that time world events have caused a dramatic shift in how we think about our lives and our work. Now we grapple with the fundamental questions. How can we live a courageous life and manage anxiety? Is it possible to reach greater heights of ethics and responsibility?

Peter Koestenbaum, the preeminent business philosopher, has been a trusted mentor to business leaders worldwide. In this thoroughly revised edition of his classic book he shares his wisdom about the fundamental nature of leadership and shows what it takes to become an exceptional and passionate leader in today's complex world. At the very heart of the book is his Leadership Diamond model—a paradigm that challenges managers to transform their thinking and approach everything with fresh effectiveness in order to reap richer results and become great leaders.
