A leadership-powered company builds its own future leaders and takes full advantage of  its own intellectual capital.

The multiple authors (Ram Charan et al) of The Leadership Pipeline: How to Build the Leadership Powered Company are experts on the concept of leadership.  They've put their heads together to compile practical advice for the company that plans its success by planning its succession.  Nancy

Mini Book Review List
 

Dare to go Bear

 

 

After September 11, criticism of Rudolph Giuliani (February 24th Weblog, And The Scapegoat Is ...)pretty much faded away.  He emerged from tragedy as a leader we all can admire because he figured out what needed to be done and did it while many of the rest of us were still reeling. 

Giuliani himself said he simply followed the leadership principles he was laying down in Leadership, the book he was writing at the time:

"Surround yourself with great people.  Have beliefs and communicate them.  See things for yourself.  Stand up to bullies.  Deal with first things first.  Loyalty is the vital virtue.  Prepare relentlessly.  Under promise and over deliver.  Don't assume a damn thing.  And, of course, the importance of funerals."

Thank God.  Nancy

PS  Read more of Guiliani's thoughts on leadership from his February 23, 2004 speech at the University of Oklahoma in the weblog, And The Scapegoat Is ...

 

We listened to a Q&A with Jack Welch a while ago.    If you didn't know he was the Goliath of retired CEOs, you still would have been impressed.  The man didn't get to be the most talked about business leader of his generation on his bottom line alone.

Check out Welch: An American Icon by Janet Lowe for a penetrating look at the man and the myth.  (Sounds like a review form the '50s, but you get the idea.)  Nancy

PS  Update - Welch's personal life not withstanding, Welch's story an important one in the ongoing saga of American business.

 

 

Colin Powell's story will be interesting to read after he retires from public life, but in the meantime, Oren Harari has given us The Leadership Secrets of Colin Powell

If I were going to present a seminar on leadership, this book would be one of my sources.  It's organized to present the material in the most usable manner possible.  If you're into How to Be a Better Boss books, grab Harari's latest.  Nancy

 

You don't stay on top without good leadership.  And it never hurts to see how the big boys get results.  In The Leadership Investment by Robert M. Fulmer and Marshall Goldsmith, we get a look inside some of the world's outstanding leadership development programs.  Best practices, anyone?  Nancy  

Most of us get by, some of us always do the best we can and a few, a very few, lead others to greatness.  Vince Lombardi knew how to bring out the excellence in people, and What it Takes to be #1 by Vince Lombardi, Jr. is a guidebook for those of us who would be leaders.  Nancy

You can learn a lot about life and success from the details in a great biography.  Kenneth S. Davis has produced a landmark series of biographies on the life of Franklin D. Roosevelt beginning with The Beckoning of Destiny: 1882-1928Each subsequent volume illuminates the evolution of one of the great leaders of the 20th century.  Nancy 

 

In the age of e-mail, every handwritten letter is a personal treasure.  But when letters are written from a time and place of imminent danger, they often transcend ownership and become part of our military history.  In War Letters, editor Andrew Carroll has compiled a remarkable collection.  Many of the letters are simply extraordinary.  Nancy
