About the Author
J. David Pincus, Ph.D., APR, is professor of communications at California State University, Fullerton.
From Booklist
With CEOs now being kicked out of their corner offices at an unprecedented rate, it's time, say Pincus and DeBonis, to rethink the role and responsibilities of the corporate leader, not the least of which is the way top dogs communicate to all their key stakeholders--most of all, employees. On the basis of 10 years of research, the authors link communications and leadership in a definitive way, showing through data and case histories how consistency, compassion, organization, and selectivity (their CCOS model) form the linchpins of true communications. As another illustration, they spin a fictional tale of Arlen Royster, CEO of a national hotel chain, who's faced with both cooked books and an internal mutiny. Endnotes and fairly impressive CEO interviews underscore their major theme: that U.S. business leaders must learn the hows, whens, wheres, and whys of communicating to succeed both now and in the next century. A book that not only needs to be written but also to be read widely. Barbara Jacobs

"I'll be honest, I've never been a big believer in the new genre of business fiction. But, by intertwining the dramatic story of Arlen Royster with fascinating interviews, case studies, and profiles of real business leaders, Pincus and DeBonis have given the reader the most effective coverage and insight into leadership of any book I've ever read.
