Classic and Timeless

This is one of the best books ever written on leadership. I suspect that the poor reviews come from Reagan acolytes since Bennis was willing to tell the world the emperor had no clothes back when it was first written. If you are looking for leadership strategies and tactics, you'll appreciate this book. If you believe the world desperately needs real leadership, you'll want to own this book. However, if you think greed is good and you're more interested in getting "yours" then you shouldn't bother opening the cover.
One of the most exciting books I have ever read!

Warren Bennis has a talent for being able to see and articulate the "big picture" problems that are plaguing the majority of organizations today. He uses many, many examples to show cause and effect relationships between poor leadership and organizational health. He is an outspoken fan of creativity, vision, trust and momentum within the work force and exegetic in his treatment of corporations, colleges, the military, Non-Profits, etc.- He is blunt about greed, reactionism and hubris while presenting an exciting picture of our Country and it's potential when leaders (not managers) are allowed to instill hope in the people who do the work. I am buying a copy for each of my employees!!
