Description:

This leadership classic continues to be a BusinessWeek bestseller after three editions and twenty years in print. Grounded in the latest research, it is the premier resource on becoming a leader. This new edition has been extensively updated, with inspiring and relevant stories of real people achieving extraordinary results. The authors also take this opportunity to underscore that not only is leadership everyone's business, but that it is a relationship -- one of personal self-development and the development of those being led. The fourth edition emphasizes the global community and refocuses the book on business leaders, and includes almost a third new material.
