Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner, and author of Leadership
Current management philosophy advocates an outmoded Machiavellian approach to running organizations: Leaders are told in countless books that they can only accomplish their goals by being tough, manipulative, dictatorial, or paternalistic as the situation requires.
In Leading Change, noted management theorist James O’Toole proposes a provocative new vision of leadership in the business world–a vision of leadership rooted in moral values and a consistent display of respect for all followers. As O’Toole brilliantly demonstrates, values-based leadership is not only fair and just, it is also highly effective in today’s complex organizations.
