One of the most important leadership books ever written is being released this summer. The book that has been the basis for the powerhouse leadership development business, selling more than 2 million copies in over 20 languages, marks this year its 25th year in print with a new anniversary edition. We speak about the 5th edition of The Leadership Challenge: How to Make Extraordinary Things Happen in Organizations; the bestselling, award-winning, classic book originally published in 1987 by bussiness gurus, visionary and pioneering authors Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner.
Based on Kouzes and Posner’s extensive research, this all-new edition casts their enduring work in context for today’s world, proving how leadership is a relationship that must be nurtured, and most importantly, that it can be learned. Featuring an interactive companion App and over 100 new case studies, this fully revised edition shows that even when times change, the need for good leadership endures.
For over many years Kouzes and Posner are providing leadership workshops, lectures and seminars around the world to corporations, governments, and nonprofits. They also developed The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership Model, an assessment tool used in leadership training programs at organizations. And twenty-five years after their first written collaboration yielded a major contribution to the field of leadership development, Kouzes and Posner are still writing, researching, traveling, lecturing, and exploring fresh ways to help new generations understand not only why exemplary leadership matters, but also how ultimately leaders can make a difference.
This thoroughly updated new edition casts the principles and practices of The Leadership Challenge in today’s context of how people work, what followers expect of leaders, and what leaders must do to engage others to achieve the extraordinary. An indispensable resource for leaders at all levels, this anniversary edition is a landmark update and must-read.
