From the Inside Flap:

Effective leadership is more crucial than ever before. In fact, the link between effective leadership and corporate health is backed up by hard data, as best-selling author Judith M. Bardwick explains in her contributed article to The AMA Handbook of Leadership. Study after study shows that leadership quality directly impacts employee commitment—and employee commitment predicts an organization’s financial success.

You’ll learn about this and other important research, trends, and perspectives in this one-of-a-kind compendium of original writings from some of the leading thinkers and doers in the field. There’s not a single “system” for sale here, but a gathering of twenty-three succinct, on-target articles on what it means to be an effective leader today, as well as proven strategies for leading people and organizations to success. Read from:

� Maya Hu-Chan on the five most important skills required of global leaders navigating a multicultural, ever-changing world

� D. Quinn Mills and Luke Novelli Jr. on how to astutely read the three primary executive styles in both Asian and Western contexts

� Marc Effron and Miriam Ort on the trouble with talent management, along with ideas for radically overhauling the TM and HR functions

� Howard J. Morgan and Paula Kruger on fourteen key lessons for turning a high-turnover department into a committed, profitable unit

� Joseph Folkman on thirteen ways to show you care about your people—distilled from one hundred thousand 360� assessments

� Paul Hersey on eight ways to mold Generation Y into high-performing leaders—not just a remarkably high-maintenance workforce

� Robert H. Rosen on four ways that leaders can use the anxiety caused by change and uncertainty in positive, productive ways

� Fons Trompenaars and Peter Woolliams on how a “servant leader” approach can help your organization achieve a sustainable future

Packed with real-life examples, research-based assessments, and probing analyses, The AMA Handbook of Leadership’s brisk, stimulating articles give you a broad perspective on new leadership challenges and strategies—including some refreshingly contrarian opinions and observations.
