Transforming Leadership: Equipping Yourself and Coaching Others to Build the Leadership Organization, Second Edition

Our seminary has chosen this book as the main textbook in the advanced class on leadership. We have been using this for four years and are very pleased with it. It replaces the older text on Spiritual Leadership by Sanders.

A Book Review from Management TodayA Publication of the Australian Institute of Management July, 1998 Transforming Leadership-Second Edition Authored by Terry D. Anderson, Ph.D.Boldly re-entering a market presently congested with leadership tomes, this new edition of the definitive executive and management self-development book stands well above the majority. An examination of how leadership development has a truly profound effect on the morale and performance of individuals, teams and organizations, this book has been written both as a text for students and educators, and a reference for managers, consultants, executive coaches and mentors, and aspiring executives. It is perhaps the only book of its kind that provides an overarching model for leadership development; or a guide for developing curriculum that targets-specifically and simultaneously-the means for creating the strongest influence on organizational and personal effectiveness.The author's innovative conceptual contribution to the literature of leadership is his focus on how it is necessary to build a leadership organization before-and to an extent while-you move ahead into building a "learning organization". In this second edition he tackles this issue squarely with an emphasis on the importance of the role of executive and leader.
