## Description

The most trusted source of leadership wisdom, updated to address today's realities The Leadership Challenge is the gold-standard manual for effective leadership, grounded in research and written by the premier authorities in the field. With deep insight into the complex interpersonal dynamics of the workplace, this book positions leadership both as a skill to be learned, and as a relationship that must be nurtured to reach its full potential. This new sixth edition has been revised to address current challenges, and includes more international examples and a laser focus on business issues; you'll learn how extraordinary leaders accomplish extraordinary things, and how to develop your leadership skills and style to deliver quality results every time. Engaging stories delve into the fundamental roles that great leaders fulfill, and simple frameworks provide a primer for those who seek continuous improvement; by internalizing key insights and putting concepts into action, you'll become a more effective, more impactful leader. A good leader gets things done; a great leader aspires, inspires, and achieves more. This book highlights the differences between good and great, and shows you how to bridge the chasm between getting things done and making things happen. Gain deep insight into leadership's critical role in organizational health Navigate the shift toward team-oriented work relationships Motivate and inspire to break through the pervasive new cynicism Leverage the electronic global village to deliver better results Business is evolving at an increasingly rapid rate, and leaders must keep pace with the changes or risk stagnation. People work differently, are motivated differently, and have different expectations today—business as usual is quickly losing its effectiveness. The Leadership Challenge helps you stay current, relevant, and effective in the modern workplace.

Review: One of the best books I've read - I am in an Organizational Leadership Masters program and this is one of the main textbooks for one of my classes. I find myself completely immersed while I am reading, and I look FORWARD to reading (which is rare with "textbooks!"). This book answers all every single question I have had about why my leadership was struggling or failing in the past - providing concrete examples and case studies of people who successfully applied the principles. The authors write well, they inject humor, and their enthusiasm is contagious. If you own a small business, if you are a teacher/facilitator of any kind, if you do project management, or if you lead any kind of team, YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK. There are a million books out there, but this one is so approachable, so practical, so fun and easy to read, and it's in its 6TH EDITION. That says a lot. Not only does it mean that people keep wanting to read this book, but it also means that the information is totally up to date, describing leadership scenarios we are all dealing with right now, in 2019. Thank you Kouzes and Posner. Amazing work. You have given me hope, reinvigorated my sense of purpose, and provided me with applicable practices I can use within my teams, projects, and organization.
Review: Even Oscar the Grouch Would Lead a Dream Team After Reading This” - This book is not your typical leadership fluff. It’s packed with practical wisdom, real-life examples, and enough inspiration to turn even the grumpiest office curmudgeon (yes, looking at you, Oscar the Grouch) into a mission-driven visionary. Kouzes and Posner lay it out clearly—leadership isn’t about a title, it’s about action. And this book gives you the exact actions to take. From modeling the way to encouraging the heart, every chapter is like a pep talk from a coach who also happens to read Harvard Business Review for fun. Sure, I laughed at some of the metaphors (and maybe pictured myself giving TED Talks in a cape), but the strategies are legit. I actually used a few ideas in a team meeting and people nodded so hard I thought someone was going to pull a neck muscle. If you want to inspire, empower, and maybe even get Oscar to stop yelling about trash for five minutes—this is the book. Buy it. Read it. Then go make something extraordinary happen (cape optional).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great framework, lots of examples
*by E***Y on March 15, 2020*

An inspiring reminder that anyone can be a "leader" and that it is a designation of how you act and what you do, not a level in a hierarchy. Five practices of exemplary leadership Model the Way - People see and key off what you do and how you role model behavior. In order to do this, you must clarify your values, understand how your values connect with the organization/group you're joining, and be humble and low-ego enough to not ask others to do work you wouldn't do yourself. Inspire a Shared Vision - Craft a future state that is clear and compelling. It should be detailed enough that others can start to see it for themselves. The best example of this is MLK's "I have a dream" speech. Since you can't achieve much on your own, you need others to join your cause and jointly share this vision. Challenge the Process - Every great leadership story requires overcoming some obstacles. While inertia is a strong force, you need to identify where changes in process are necessary and enact those changes. It helps to start small and build it through validation. Enable Others to Act - Great leaders empower others to step up and become leaders themselves. Encourage the Heart - There is an "inspiring" quality to leaders who can tap into a deep human motivation. People also being led by positive, encouraging people who make them feel valued and appreciated. What people look for in a leader Honesty - says what they believe to be true (not two faced), speaks the hard truths Future thinking - spend time thinking about and the future and have a stance on where things are going Competent - do what they say they will do Inspiring - evoke a higher purpose
