About this title

Synopsis

Through engaging and moving reflections on personal experiences, this book explores the keys to leadership by sharing insights of a man who rose from reluctant draftee sent to fight in Vietnam to become a colonel and an architect of the Department of Behavioral Science and Leadership at the Military Academy at West Point, and who currently works to develop IBM's senior leaders. Since Dr. Beach's arrival at IBM, Fortune has repeatedly ranked that company's leadership development methods as #1 in the world. The book does not describe the view from the heights of leadership, rather it identifies what is needed to make the climb and explains how to develop those attributes and behaviors in ourselves and in others. It is a splendid mix of profound--often paradoxical--leadership wisdom and wit that will enlighten and inspire leaders at any organizational level.
