Global Leaders for the Twenty-First Century (SUNY series in Management-Communication) - Tapa dura

"Marquardt and Berger deliver a well-integrated leadership profile for the twenty-first century." -- Robert Dilworth, Virginia Commonwealth University

"An essential work. Excellent choice of leaders and framework in which each is reviewed. A good way to start off the new century." -- Kenneth Murrell, University of West Florida

Marquardt and Berger (both human resource development, George Washington U.) identify 12 leaders, mostly of corporations, that they find to thrive amidst high chaos and continuous change, a quality they believe the next generation of business and government leaders will need. They set out eight critical competencies, such as a global mindset, leaning and teaching skills, and spirituality and a concern for ethics. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
