Leader to Leader: Enduring Insights on Leadership from the Drucker Foundation's Award-Winning Journal by Frances Hesselbein, Paul M. Cohen
The challenges of today and tomorrow demand new ways of leading organizations, building collaborations, and creating communities. Starting with its premier issue, Leader to Leader has presented the best thinking of leaders, for leaders. This first collection brings together the timely but classic wisdom of world-renowned leaders, best-selling writers, legendary thinkers, and esteemed business philosophers.
Thirty-nine talented thinkers have contributed their knowledge and experience to this volume. Though the authors write from diverse perspectives and present their own thinking, they weave a coherent tapestry of themes. The chapters present a vital examination of mission, leadership, innovation, the discipline of transformation, and the building of effective, productive institutions. Behind these explorations is a deep belief in the humanity of the institutions, with emphasis on the leader's role in fulfilling the common purpose of all organizations, as stated by Peter Drucker, "to make the strengths of people effective and their weaknesses irrelevant."
