Recommendation
Frequent leadership authors James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner will convince you that exemplary leaders make themselves great – not because of their DNA or “natural talent” – but because they work hard. Kouzes and Posner back up their claims with extensive references to current research. Their manual aims mostly at helping you on your journey to effective leadership. The authors lay out several fundamentals of leadership supported by about a dozen practices culled from their rich experience. They repeat these fundamentals – self-belief, a drive for excellence, on others, lifelong learning, servant leadership, authenticity and practice – to drive their message home. getAbstract recommends their insights and practices to new supervisors, seasoned managers and anyone who develops leaders.

4 years ago#30DaysOfSummaries This is an encouraging article which makes everybody feel it possible to develop the leadership. The counsel is practical, and anybody who wants to develop good leadership should try it.

4 years agoI think the book is about learning leadership and does a good enough job at putting together apt material for such an objective. Some learn better than others, and some are inherently inclined to excel so leadership happens naturally as well.

4 years agoI believe that everyone can lead but I do not believe that everyone can become a great leader. I think the key to exemplary achievement is to focus on what you can be great at and let the great leaders do what they do. The "Five Fundamentals" can help achieve exemplary performance in any direction your natural talents take you; in fact they are essential, but greatness in leadership without natural leadership inclination? I remain skeptical.
