From the DJ flap
In this first volume
of the Wisdom to Action series, twenty-nine of the world's greatest
thinkers explore the need for a new paradigm in leadership. In today's
fast-paced global society, leaders must be adept at establishing
diverse partnerships, alliances, and networks by building and
maintaining relationships both within and outside their own
organizations. They must be comfortable with working with individuals
and organizations they cannot control in the traditional sense, but
with whom they share core values, purposes, and goals. Ultimately, they
must learn to lead through commitment and connection-both of which are
rooted in freedom of choice rather than in systems of coercion and
control.
Leading Beyond the Walls brings together Peter F. Drucker,
Stephen R. Covey, Peter M. Senge, Jim Collins, Noel Tichy, Regina E.
Herzlinger, C.K. Prahalad, Sally Helgesen, and other thought leaders to
describe new ways of building relationships, new approaches to strategy
and marketing, new models of employee relations, and other innovative
ways of thinking and acting. They share practical insights on the
challenge of leading in an age when the old rules and conventional
boundaries no longer exist. Their incisive essays herald a world in
which new possibilities can come only from leaders and organizations
willing to move beyond the walls of inertia and tradition.
