ACHIEVING CREDIBILITY The Key to Effective Leadership

With careful research informing his writing, Jim Kouzes delivers a thoughtful analysis of what it takes to be an effective leader. People want their leaders to be honest, forward looking, inspiring, and competent, and they want to trust the messenger before they buy into his or her message. Kouzes is an extraordinary messenger himself, delivering these ideas with great comfort and sounding like a casual and well-loved professor. His relaxing tone and cadence inspire openness to his message that anyone can learn to motivate others to join the leader in struggling to achieve shared goals. With action steps and habits to put in place at the end of each chapter, this title is a seminal resource for any aspiring leader or manager.
