From Publishers Weekly
Like their colleagues above, Warren Bennis, Gretchen M. Spreitzer and Thomas G. Cummings, all professors at USC's Marshall School of Business, have puzzled over the challenges and demands facing 21st-century corporate leaders. In The Future of Leadership: Today's Top Leadership Thinkers Speak to Tomorrow's Leaders, they bring together their insights with those of other recognized leadership experts from academia and the private sector, including Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (Flow) on the importance of creativity, Tom Peters (In Search of Excellence) on establishing leadership staying-power in a start-up-crazed marketplace, and Barry Z. Posner and James M. Kouzes (coauthors of The Leadership Challenge) on the lessons of yesterday that will continue to have value tomorrow. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
From Booklist
Warren Bennis is to leadership what Peter Drucker is to management. Both have had long, distinguished careers, and both are prolific writers. Bennis is the author or editor of 26 books on leadership, change management, and creative collaboration-- including Managing People Is like Herding Cats (1997). This new collection of essays was organized as a Festschrift to honor Bennis at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, where Bennis is a professor. Bennis starts by identifying "twelve challenging issues that leaders will need to understand and learn how to resolve if they are to succeed in tomorrow's organizations." The essayists respond by considering the organization of the future; the leader of the future; and ways in which leaders "continue to renew, energize, and develop themselves." In addition, two new "young leaders" offer their perspectives. The roster of 20 contributing luminaries includes Charles Handy, James Kouzes, Barry Posner, Tom Peters, and Mihaly Csikszentmihaly.
