Description
Book SynopsisSimple yet profound, Max De Pree''s observations are often quoted by America''s top CEOs, educators, and opinion makers. The best-selling author of
Leadership Is an Art and
Leadership Jazz, he has done no less than revolutionize leadership thinking and practice. Now, in
Leading Without Power, De Pree finds that the most successful organizations of the Information Age operate not as controlled collections of human resources, but as dynamic communities of free people. And in order to mobilize these communities, leaders must know how to lead without power, because free people follow willingly or not at all.
This is a book to be read, reread, shared widely within any organization. Every chapter has pictures for our mind that will remain vivid long after the book is closed. A vibrant testament to human potential, the why of work.
