Resumen del Editor

The most trusted source of leadership wisdom, updated to address today's realities.

The Leadership Challenge is the gold-standard manual for effective leadership, grounded in research and written by the premier authorities in the field. With deep insight into the complex interpersonal dynamics of the workplace, this book positions leadership both as a skill to be learned and as a relationship that must be nurtured to reach its full potential. This new sixth edition has been revised to address current challenges and includes more international examples and a laser focus on business issues; you'll learn how extraordinary leaders accomplish extraordinary things and how to develop your leadership skills and style to deliver quality results every time. Engaging stories delve into the fundamental roles that great leaders fulfill, and simple frameworks provide a primer for those who seek continuous improvement; by internalizing key insights and putting concepts into action, you'll become a more effective, more impactful leader.

A good leader gets things done; a great leader aspires, inspires, and achieves more. This book highlights the differences between good and great, and shows you how to bridge the chasm between getting things done and making things happen.

• Gain deep insight into leadership's critical role in organizational health
• Navigate the shift toward team-oriented work relationships
• Motivate and inspire to break through the pervasive new cynicism
• Leverage the electronic global village to deliver better results

Business is evolving at an increasingly rapid rate, and leaders must keep pace with the changes or risk stagnation. People work differently, are motivated differently, and have different expectations today - business as usual is quickly losing its effectiveness. The Leadership Challenge helps you stay current, relevant, and effective in the modern workplace.

Nice addition

The book reinforced as well as added leadership principles that I can put into use today. Definitely adding to my professional Library.

Take notes! There's a lot of info in this book !

I recommend this to anyone that wants to be an effective leader. I had to read each chapter twice!

Relevant and inspiring

I appreciated the key points, the stories and the calls to action contained within the book. The narration was paced well and clear. I use the book and the audio together. I've been so inspired that I plan to become certified to teach it to others!

One of the best books on leadership

This book has been very helpful to me as a leader. It laid out very clearly where I need to grow.

Favorite leadership book

I’ve read quite a few leadership books and I’m currently taking a course on leadership that requires reading several additional books. This is one of the required books for the course. Of all the books I’ve read, this is my favorite. I love all of the anecdotal stories and the variety of topics covered. I feel truly inspired to be a better leader and feel that I have many more tools in my bag of ideas that are founded on research and experience. Thanks to Kouzes & Posner for doing all the hard work to bring so much great information together!

Leadership mentor recommendation, deeply enjoyed!

This book was a recommendation by one of my mentors. It broached some very heavy subjects in a relatable and easily digestible way.
Recommend listening at 1.2x speed.

good though wordy

Great book for a first time manager. Not as useful for a senior manager (good brush up but wordy)

Cites a great deal of research. Excellent details

Well worth listening to and unlike many leadership books, women are used as quality examples.

Exemplary leadership in a nutshell.

Tspherix R&D, fueled by this enthusiastic launchpad for leadership is proud to absorb the values presented in this production. Thank you for this great piece of precise encouragement- we look forward to future leadership goals and futures.
