"The Leadership Challenge"

Paper Summary:

An analytical essay which reviews James Kouzes, et al.'s "The Leadership Challenge" - a book which is a very much hands-on approach to leadership, especially in the business world. The paper shows how they have created a model of what a good leader is through extensive and exhaustive interviews with other leaders in the field of business.

From the Paper:

"One should speak the truth, treat others with respect, keep your promises, work hard, only make demands upon others that you would be willing to make upon yourself and remember to ask yourself on a regular basis how much something will matter in 20 years. Making a dangerous product that hurts or even kills somebody will matter a great deal 20 years into the future. A small rise in profits will not. And so when one comes to the point of having to choose between different courses, it is useful to think about which pathway will lead one to the future that one personally would feel most comfortable with."
