A leader's legacy - KOUZES; Posner (San Francisco : Jossey Bass, 2006)
In this provocative book, the authors take on a unique challenge and explore the question of leadership and legacy. They examine in twenty-two chapters the critical questions all leader must ask themselves in order to leave a lasting impact. These powerful essays are grouped into four categories: Significance, Relationships, Aspirations, and Courage. In each essay the authors consider a thorny and often ambiguous issue with which today's leader must grapple-issues such as how leaders serve and sacrifice, why leaders need loving critics, why leaders should want to be liked, why leaders can't take trust for granted, why it's not just the leader's vision, why failure is always an option, why it takes courage to "make a liofe." how to liberate the leader in everyone, and ultimately, how the legacy you leave is the life you lead.
