It has been more than a decade since the first edition of Peter
Koestenbaum's landmark book Leadership: The Inner Side of
Greatness was published. Since that time world events have
caused a dramatic shift in how we think about our lives and our
work. Now we grapple with the fundamental questions. How can we
live a courageous life and manage anxiety? Is it possible to reach
greater heights of ethics and responsibility?
Peter Koestenbaum, the preeminent business philosopher, has been
a trusted mentor to business leaders worldwide. In this thoroughly
revised edition of his classic book he shares his wisdom about the
fundamental nature of leadership and shows what it takes to become
an exceptional and passionate leader in today's complex world. At
the very heart of the book is his Leadership Diamond model--a
paradigm that challenges managers to transform their thinking and
approach everything with fresh effectiveness in order to reap
richer results and become great leaders.
