Overview
This book presents a model of the leadership process that identifies which factors create an effective leader at different points in an organization's lifecycle and which forces act as moderators to that effectiveness. The dimension of how the dynamics of leadership play out over time is what distinguishes this work from previous books on leadership.
Synopsis
Observing that organizational leadership requires change in a systematic way to meet evolving needs, Ward (management, Emory U.) presents a framework for understanding the implications of leadership lifestages. From case studies of the heads of companies including The Body Shop, Wal-Mart, and Microsoft, he offers examples of transitions between such roles as creator, sustainer, and terminator and lessons for leadership development.
