A Harvard Business Review Book. Widely acknowledged as the
world''s foremost authority on leadership, John Kotter has devoted
his remarkable career to studying organizations and those who run
them, and his bestselling books and essays have guided and inspired
leaders at all levels. Here, in this collection of his acclaimed
Harvard Business Review articles, is an astute assessment of the
real work of leaders, as only John Kotter can offer. To complement
the HBR articles, Kotter also contributes a new piece, a thoughtful
reflection on the themes that have developed throughout his work.
Convinced that most organizations today lack the leadership they
need, Kotter''s mission is to help us better understand what
leaders--real leaders--do. True leadership, he reminds us, is an
elusive quality, and too often we confuse management duties and
personal style with leadership, or even mistake unworthy leaders
for the real thing. Yet without leadership, organizations move too
slowly, stagnate, and lose their way. With John Kotter on What
Leaders Really Do, readers will learn how to become more effective
leaders as they explore pressing issues such as power, influence,
dependence, and strategies for change.
