From the Inside Flap
In his sixteenth-century masterpiece, The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli advised leaders to "learn how not to be good, and to use this knowledge and not use it according to the necessity of the case.'' Under the guise of modern-day "situational leadership,'' organizations still take refuge in this outdated theory. James O'Toole argues that such amoral leadership is ineffective. Instead, he shows that successful leadership is ultimately rooted in high moral purpose and the consistent display of respect for followers.In Leading Change, O'Toole transcends how-to management primers by offering an unorthodox approach to leadership based on the lessons of history, moral and political philosophy, and the practical experience of men and women across cultures and circumstances—including the Rushmorean presidents. As a springboard for this provocative treatise on overcoming resistance to change, O'Toole uses artist James Ensor's painting, Christ's Entry into Brussels in 1889. He explains how modern men and women can lead effectively from the middle of today's inattentive crowd of individualists by enlisting and including all followers in the process.
From the Back Cover
In his sixteenth century masterpiece, The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli advised leaders to "learn how not to be good," and moreover, to use this knowledge regardless of individual case. Under the guise of modern day "situational leadership," organizations still take refuge in this outdated theory. In Leading Change, James O'Toole argues that such amoral practices are ultimately ineffective—and demonstrates instead that successful leadership is rooted in high moral purpose and consistent respect for followers.
