Book Synopsis
''Leading with Vision will enable you to make the emotional connection that is absolutely necessary in engaging today''s workforce'' Jim Kouzes
What does it mean to lead with vision? In the first book devoted entirely to vision as a key leadership principle, the authors delve deeply into the notion that a compelling vision that motivates and inspires is a true differentiator for organizations that want to hire and retain talent, be more competitive, and thrive in uncertain times. But a compelling vision on its own is not enough, which is why the authors, sought-after leadership development experts globally, provide readers with detailed analysis of the essential things leaders must do to effectively engage the workforce around that vision: embody courage, forge clarity, build connectedness, and shape culture.
Leading with Vision draws on quantitative data from the authors'' research of over 400 companies supplemented with real-world examples
