Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Brand names, logos, and slogans are the identifying marks of corporations, but in the turbulent environment of the business world, these markers have little effect on the success of a company. Instead, it is an organization's underlying identity that contains the key to creating value, which, in turn, drives the success of the corporation. This enterprising book reveals how organizations can adapt successfully to the fast-paced marketplace when decisions are based on the bedrock of identity. The author's "laws of identity" will help managers be authentic leaders, recruit employees who will flourish in the corporate environment, and develop a product mix that both meets customer needs and highlights the talents of the organization.
Review:"Identity Is Destiny is not your garden variety how-to-be-a-leader book. It is a deep, insightful, uplifting account of leadership as a way of living. Ackerman's natural laws ring true as universal ways that people find identity and mastery by understanding their inner selves, connecting to others, and creating meaningful work that helps organizations and societies prosper. Both personally inspiring and business savva winning combination." Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School, author of World Class and Rosabeth Moss Kanter on the Frontiers of Management
