On Mission and Leadership by Frances Hesselbein, Rob Johnston
On Mission and Leadership explores the vital role of mission in defining and sustaining leadership. Part of the Leader to Leader Guides, which offer a wellspring of rich insight and information from top leadership thinkers, it presents the best thinking on inspired leadership, vision, and mission-focused management.
Drawn from Leader to Leader, the award-wining journal, On Mission and Leadership brings together Warren Bennis, Anita Roddick, Daniel Goleman, Patrick Lencioni, Dee Hock and other thought leaders to offer guidance and insight for those who seek to lead their organizations with a strong sense of purpose. The contributors reveal how an effective organization is built around an enterprise's fundamental mission -- its reason for being. They show how successful leaders mobilize around and communicate mission at all times, and they demonstrate how these leaders embody the values and character the organization needs to succeed. Readers will learn how to build community within their organizations and how to define the organization's role in the greater community beyond the walls.
Each of the four volumes in the Leader to Leader Guides -- On Mission and Leadership, On Leading Change, On High Performance Organizations, and On Creativity, Innovation, and Renewal -- is organized around an essential topic with a diversity of views presented in clear, short chapters. These essential collections provide leaders with insight and inspiration to take their organizations to new levels of excellence.
