Since that book's publication, they and coauthor Scott Edinger discovered, through an extensive study conducted over four years, that leaders who possessed the ability to inspire and motivate out-performed all others. The authors found that the impact of inspiring and motivating others is consistent across different kinds of organizations and within different cultures.

Built To Last, the defining management study of the 90s, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the very beginning. But what about companies that are not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness?

Successful leaders build and maintain productive, mutually-beneficial relationships - inside and outside of their organizations.

And they achieve excellence in teamwork and organizational execution - the nuts and bolts of collaborative action that actually produces desired results.

Publisher's Summary

Secrets for developing leadership and competitive advantage in any organization

The Extraordinary Leader is a research-based book about leadership. It analyzes 200,000 assessments from 20,000 managers and presents new insights that demystify this complex subject. It clearly establishes the importance of developing great leaders versus being satisfied with merely good ones, and highlights the link between leadership behavior and an organization's performance.

From the authors' research, a new model of leadership emerges that challenges long-held beliefs about leadership competencies. The authors identify 16 competencies that tower above all the others - the ones that separate great leaders from the average. One of the book's major breakthroughs is its focus on the importance of maximizing strengths as opposed to merely correcting weaknesses. Further, the importance of balanced strengths is introduced: when strengths are clustered in one area, the leader is less effective than he or she could be with strengths in different areas.

Abridged!

I have never before felt so cheated in buying an audiobook. This audiobook is not only abridged, but the reader rewords sentences instead of reading them the way the author intended. Huge sections of the chapters are missing and chapters themselves are also missing. In addition, major concepts that are presented in the book are not included in this audiobook. I bought this as a reading companion and the audiobook leaves out so much, that k found it impossible to follow. This book is very good, and you should definitely read it. This audiobook however, does not do the book justice at all. Do not buy this audiobook.
