xxiv, 180 p. ; 22 cm. MAX DE PREE HAS WRITTEN TWO BOOKS: LEADERSHIP IS AN ART AND LEADERSHIP JAZZ. I HIGHLY COMMEND THEM TO ALL OF YOU. THEY ARE VERY WELL DONE AND VERY MUCH WORTH THE COST OF THE BOOKS. THEY'RE ASTONISHING." -President Bill Clinton LEADERSHIP, LIKE JAZZ... "...is a public performance, dependent on so many things-the environment, the volunteers in the band, the need for everybody to perform as individuals and as a group, the absolute dependence of the leader on the members of the band... What a summary of an organization!"-Max De Pree In this bold and innovative work, the best-selling author of Leadership Is an Art draws a compelling and illuminating parallel between leadership and jazz-both art forms in which freedom and technique, improvisation and rules, inspiration and restraint must be precisely and expertly blended. This dynamic, inspiring book compels you to reconsider every assumption you have about work...and find your own voice in this soaring coda on the art and craft of leadership. Discover: Why and how the best leaders, like the best music, inspire us to see new possibilities Why it is vital to make and carry out promises to the people who allow you to lead Why beauty and harmony must pervade an organization and all it does How to reach for the renewal, innovation, and vitality required for truly lasting solutions How to understand and evaluate your own gifts and moti tions, questions to ask yourself, and more Leadership 262.0079780385526302(pbk.)
