Book description
This book reveals the three most important capabilities leaders must
demonstrate today: the ability to set strategy, empathize with others,
and take risks-all at the same time. In
Head, Heart, and Guts,
leadership experts David Dotlich, Peter Cairo, and Stephen
Rhinesmith-who teach and coach CEOs and executive teams throughout the
world-argue that to be successful in a complex, matrixed, fast-moving
world, “whole” leaders must set strategy, develop trusting relationships
with others, and consistently do the right thing based on personal
values. “Partial” leaders, often the product of traditional executive
programs, may be successful in the shortrun, but their companies lose
over time. Filled with case studies of companies such as Bank of
America, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, and UBS, Head, Heart, and Guts
, lays out specific steps and actions for leaders who want to grow
beyond their “leadership comfort zone” and an action plan for companies
that want to move beyond tried-and-true leadership development in order
to develop “whole” leaders throughout their leadership pipeline.
