What makes a good leader? Ten leaders, ten key virtues This readable distillation of the core common features of successful leaders shows how an individual's character, and especially their virtue, is the defining factor. Without these ten vital virtues, leadership becomes "misleadership." The authors, both renowned business ethicists, combine theory with fascinating biographical detail on exemplary leaders such as Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, and Oprah Winfrey. The result is an accessible text on the ethics of leadership which, unlike many publications that claim to reveal the secrets of success as a leader, is informed by a wealth of exceptional academic experience.
The authors provide vivid, detailed case studies of several organizations to illustrate how long-term success comes from value-driven, inter-related systems that align good people management with corporate strategy.
Leadership is not about individuals; it is a complex, relational, socially co-constructed and emergent process. This book brings together the latest thinking from business and positive psychology research to provide new insights into leadership, organizational development and change.
