About the Book
When it was initially written in 1987, few could have predicted that The Leadership
Challenge would become one of the best-selling leadership books of all time. Now,
faced with the new challenges of our unpredictable global business environment, Jim
Kouzes and Barry Posner - two of the country's premier leadership experts - have
completely revised and updated their classic book. Building on the knowledge base of
their previous books, the third edition of The Leadership Challenge is grounded in
extensive research and based on interviews with all kinds of leaders at all levels in
public and private organizations from around the world. In this edition, the authors
emphasize that the fundamentals of leadership are the same today as they were in the
1980s, and as they've probably been for centuries. In that sense, nothing's new.
Leadership is not a fad. While the content of leadership has not changed, the context
has - and in some cases, changed dramatically.
