Leaders: The Strategies for Taking Charge

I am a fond reader and follower of Bennis. He is usually right on the money with leadership.

Perhaps I was spoiled after receiving my first order so quickly. However, the book was in decent condition and it was delivered before I truly needed it for class. Thank you.

As CEO Coach, Poet and author of a book that helps leaders and people unleash their genius, I highly recomend this book and all of Warren's books. Of all those from academia that write about leaders Warren is the best. He combines research with a natural ability to lead.

Of all the books I have read on leadership, I will have to put this one in the top five. Bennis and Nanus have masterly laid out the essential principles of leaders and have also substantiated them with poignant examples. Their revision is greatly welcome by those of us who enjoy reading leadership literature. I highly recommend this book.

Learning the differences between manager and leader are essential to successful executives. Bennis and Nanus' book gives specific examples of the fundamental elements needed for both positions, beginning with strategies, the first of which is having a vision for the organization. Meaningful quotes from dozens of world leaders throughout the book, many of which were interviewed for their leadership views. The authors end with leadership empowerment, a motivational closing to anyone with their sights set on being a successful leader. Recommended reading for those on their way up as well as a good reminder of the importance of staying focused for those already leading.
