About this title

Synopsis:

Leading-Edge Thought From the World's Best Business Minds "A one-stop shopping guide that shows how leaders can be successful in the year 2000 and beyond."

The Drucker Foundation brings together the best business minds in more than 30 never-before-published essays, each one offering a special perspective on leadership and a unique glimpse into the future.

From the Author:

The Leader of the Future

For over twenty years, I’ve worked with organizations of all kinds as a leadership development consultant and executive coach. Throughout this time, I’ve realized that it doesn’t matter what kind of organization you work in; you will find opportunities to learn about leadership from all organizations--public, private, and nonprofit.

In The Leader of the Future, my co-editors, Frances Hesselbein and Dick Beckhard, and I have gathered together acclaimed authors who offer their unique perspectives on leadership. These authors demonstrate how leaders emerge from within organizations, how leadership roles are defined, and how leaders inspire hope and purpose. Peter Drucker begins the book by breaking the myth that only a lucky few can decipher the leadership code by pointing out and explaining two interesting aspects of leadership: first, that leadership must and can be learned; and second, that there isn’t one specific style, trait, or personality that determines successful leadership.

The Leader of the Future is a book about the future quality of our lives, our businesses, our organizations, and our society, and the leadership required to move us into the exciting unknown. In it, we’ve gathered the best ideas of the best authors, practitioners, consultants, academics, and philosophers to help today’s executives and managers fathom the future of leadership.

--Marshall Goldsmith
