Bill George, lauded by Warren Bennis as one of the only CEOs of our age with "true grit and character has written Authentic Leadership for the millions of people who yearn for authentic, moral, character-driven leaders. In this book, George - one of the few CEOs who has spoken out for corporate responsibility in the wake of scandal (in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, NPR`s "Talk of the Nation "Meet the Press and the "Today Show") - provides a guide for all leaders and those who have a stake in the integrity and success of corporations. He helps readers answer such questions as:
What is the purpose of my leadership? Do I really want to devote my talents to business? I`m working so hard; is it all worth it?
What should I do when my personal values conflict with company business values?
How do I make trade-offs between the needs of my customers, my employees, and our company shareholders?
Do I have a responsibility as a leader to our society, for global sustainability, to the broader community?
Authentic Leadership provides a framework for leaders to understand their purpose in leading, from a seasoned CEO who has truly been there. It focuses on the crucibles of experience through which leaders come to know who they are and solidify what they stand for. It speaks to leaders who want to lead with heart and compassion for those they serve. Purpose, values, relationships, self-discipline, and heart -- these are the five qualities George develops in the book.
