Contending that "business is overmanaged and underled," Haas, former CEO of the Sealy bedding firm, declares that self-discovery and "exceptional personal commitment" are keys to the leadership and organizational renewal needed to halt U.S. economic decline. Drawing on observations from 150 leaders interviewed, Haas and Tamarkin ( The New Gatsby ) suggest that aspiring leaders should assess their natural, educational and professional strengths. Leaders, they stress, are "ordinary persons," but they are especially dynamic, open and firm; they use imagination, take risks and plan strategy. Eschewing "how-to" specifics, the authors of this significant addition to the current spate of derivative leadership guides sum up their advice thus: "See it big, and keep it simple."
