Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With a new introduction by the author Warren Bennis's formative years, in the 1930s and '40s, were characterized by severe economic hardship and a world war that showcased the extreme depths and heights to which leaders could drive their followers. Today's environment is similarly chaotic, turbulent, and uncertain. On Becoming a Leader has served for nearly fifteen years as a beacon of insight, delving into the qualities that define leadership, the people who exemplify it, and the strategies that anyone can apply to become an effective leader. This new edition features a provocative introduction on the challenges and opportunities facing leaders today, with additional updates and current references throughout.

Review:

"Bennis here deplores what he considers a dearth of leadership in the world....[H]e provides solid, practical guidance in how to fill this vacuum." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"Only Warren Bennis could write a book on leadership that is so inspiring and insightful, captivating and wise, eloquent and revealing. His beautifully crafted stories of outstanding leaders and their fascinating paths to power are sure to launch an exciting journey of self-exploration for future leaders." Rosabeth Moss Kanter

Synopsis:

With a new Introduction by the author, this classic book captures the essence of leadership like none other — expanded and updated for tomorrow's leaders.
