On Becoming a Leader /  On Becoming a Leader (Kindle Edition)

Warren Bennis

Deemed “the dean of leadership gurus” by Forbes magazine, Warren Bennis has for years persuasively argued that leaders are not born—they are made. Delving into the qualities that define leadership, the people who exemplify it, and the strategies that anyone can apply to achieve it, his classic work On Becoming a Leader has served as a source of essential insight for countless readers. In a world increasingly defined by turbulence and uncertainty, the call to leadership is more urgent than ever.

Integrity

Stephen L. Carter

Why do we care more about winning than about playing by the rules? Integrity—all of us are in favor of it, but nobody seems to know how to make sure that we get it.

Stephen Carter examines why the virtue of integrity holds such sway over the American political imagination. By weaving together insights from philosophy, theology, history and law, along with examples drawn from current events and a dose of personal experience, Carter offers a vision of integrity that has implications for everything.

Intelligence, imagination and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that convert these into results. (Read the entire review on Amazon.com)
