Doc. 1: "In Leaders at All Levels, Ram Charan - prolific author and world-renowned advisor to business leaders - takes aim at the current crisis in leadership: the shortage of leaders prepared to face the complex business challenges of today. Charan offers a solution that outlines a new model for succession and leadership development."
Doc. 2: "In Crisis Leadership Now, author Laurence Barton applies his corporate insider's insight to numerous case studies, demonstrating how catastrophes happen to real companies and real people every day. These studies form a framework for building crisis management thinking into your company's strategic toolbox. Anticipating all forms of trouble, advising senior management and boards of directors about potential events, and devising a business recovery plan will allow your organization to rebound should tragedy strike."
Doc. 3: "Just as a compass points toward a magnetic field, your True North pulls you toward the purpose of your leadership. When you follow your internal compass, your leadership will be authentic, and people will naturally want to associate with you."
Doc. 4: "Maxwell, a leadership expert, asserts that talent is often misunderstood and overrated. To combat this, he suggests that people build their strengths and become a "Talent-plus person."
Doc. 5: "Leading With Character offers a unique collection of fascinating stories about 25 famous leaders from business, history and pop culture such as John F. Kennedy, Brian Wilson, Rosa Parks, Joe Namath, Pat Tillman and Nelson Mandela to name a handful."
Doc. 6: "Blanchard, a leading management consultant and author of The New York Times best seller The One Minute Manager, and his colleagues at the Ken Blanchard Companies have spent over 25 years helping leaders and organizations become great and remain great. Finally they have brought all of that knowledge together and distilled it into Leading at a Higher Level."
Doc. 7: "This summary explores what every executive must know to manage today’s environmental challenges. Based on the authors’ years of experience and hundreds of interviews with corporate leaders around the world, the book shows how companies generate lasting value by building environmental thinking into their business strategies."
Doc. 8: "Ten years after the bestselling The Leader of the Future hit the stands, comes this collection of essays from thought leaders of yesterday and today. Read Peter Drucker's thoughts on executive leadership, R. Roosevelt Thomas Jr.'s theory of diversity management, General Eric K. Shinseki's metaphor of one-eyed kings, Marshall Goldsmith's words on leading new age professionals, and much more."
Doc. 9: "According to Covey, trust is one of the essential elements of business, and the ability to create, preserve and restore trust has become one of the most important skills today, inside and outside the office. In The Speed of Trust, Covey gives his readers all the key tools to cultivating trust in their relationships, while offering up the wisdom of other great leaders on the topic."
Doc. 10: "A Leader's Legacy is a compilation of powerful essays that explore the question of leadership and legacy. These essays are grouped into categories covering significance, relationships, aspirations and courage. The authors examine critical questions all leaders must ask themselves in order to leave a positive and lasting impact."
Doc. 11: "Bestselling authors Lee Bolman and Terrence Deal give leaders the insight and courage they need to take risks on behalf of values they cherish and the people they guide. Great leaders must act both as wizard, calling on imagination, creativity, meaning and magic, and as warrior, mobilizing strength, courage and willingness to fight as necessary to fulfill their mission."
Doc. 12: "According to leadership expert John Maxwell, you can learn to develop your influence from wherever you are in the organization by becoming a 360-degree leader. You can learn to lead up, lead across and lead down. He writes that only 360-degree leaders influence people at every level of the organization, and by helping others, they help themselves. In The 360 Degree Leader, Maxwell explains that becoming a 360-degree leader is within the reach of anyone who possesses average or better leadership skills and is willing to work at it."
Doc. 13: "In Why Great Leaders Don't Take Yes for an Answer, Harvard Business School's Michael Roberto shows company leaders how to stimulate honest, constructive dissent; use it to improve decisions; then align their entire organization behind those decisions. Drawing on extensive research, Roberto shows how to promote candor, leverage an organization's wisdom, and build consensus that leads to effective action. He also presents examples from history while exploring how real organizations make real decisions, as well as how the decision process unfolds throughout the organization — not just in the executive suite."
Doc. 14: "Presidents, managers, coaches and even individuals have the power to choose how they deal with a loss, and whether they are going to allow it to be the beginning of a trend, or have the confidence to learn how to win next time. By studying winning and losing teams, companies and organizations, Harvard Business School Professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter has found the keys to confidence and the way to find it when it is lost. Confidence presents the new theory and practice of success, and explains why success and failure are not mere episodes but self-perpetuating trajectories."
Doc. 15: "Gen. Douglas MacArthur's extraordinary life of leadership spanned more than six decades in the military, education, public administration and business sectors. In No Substitute for Victory, business writers Theodore Kinni and Donna Kinni distill powerful leadership lessons from MacArthur's life and career - lessons you can use, no matter where you lead and what you intend to accomplish. Their book reveals what MacArthur knew about setting the right goals; building sleek, fast-response organizations; inspiring subordinates to unprecedented performance; focusing relentlessly on results; and winning."
Doc. 16: "In recent years, authority has given way to influence. In The Third Opinion, Dr. Saj-nicole A. Joni explores how this raising of the leadership bar has given way to an even greater challenge for leaders — determining to whom they can turn when experienced, trustworthy advice is required. Some leaders might turn to colleagues inside the organization for help; others might call upon a trusted adviser outside the company. There is, however, another opinion for which most people never ask: the third opinion — the unvarnished insight of a loyal and diverse inner circle of advisers, experts and mentors."
Doc. 17: "Into the Unknown charts the lessons in leadership that were learned by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark during their two-and-a-half year adventure into the American Northwest. Against staggering odds, these unique men inspired such absolute loyalty in each other and in their group of explorers that they are still regarded as the most successful leadership team in American history. Consultant and author Jack Uldrich presents Lewis and Clark as examples of leaders who were able to take their team through the roughest terrain and the toughest challenges."
Doc. 18: "For decades, succession management identified replacements for senior executives who, it was assumed, would eventually depart the organization through death or retirement. In many companies, the planning for succession was one of several "annual events," without much thought given that the process could be deployed to develop and/or retain talented employees. These days, good workers are often lured away to competing organizations, and companies without strong succession processes are left hanging. Authors Fulmer and Conger explore how the competition for talent is changing, and how several best practice companies have used succession management as a source for strategic advantage."
Doc. 19: "A former senior correspondent and anchorman at CNN, Mark Walton draws on his rich communications background to help leaders master the language of leadership with Generating Buy-In. Walton describes "buy-in" as getting understanding, commitment and action from others in support of a person, idea, proposal, product, service or organization. He explains that buy-in is the essential emotional ingredient needed for any collaborative effort to be successful. Generating Buy-In shows leaders how they can get buy-in by recognizing situations that call for renewed commitment from others, creating strategic stories that generate enthusiasm, and calling for action to get the job done."
Doc. 20: "Freedman and Tregoe, who is one of the founders of the influential Kepner-Tregoe consultancy, present a clear, practical guide for strategic planning based on a five-phase methodology: 1) Strategic Intelligence Gathering and Analysis; 2) Strategy Formulation; 3) Strategic Master Project Planning; 4) Strategy Implementation; and 5) Strategy Monitoring, Reviewing and Updating." |
