30 Key Point Summary
This series of guidebooks draws on the practical
knowledge that the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) has
generated, since its inception in 1970, through its research and
educational activity conducted in partnership with hundreds of
thousands of managers and executives. Much of this knowledge is
shared-in a way that is distinct from the typical university
department, professional association, or consultancy. CCL is not
simply a collection of individual experts, although the individual
credentials of its staff are impressive; rather it is a community,
with its members holding certain principles in common and working
together to understand and generate practical responses to today's
leadership and organizational challenges.
The purpose of the
series is to provide managers with specific advice on how to complete
a developmental task or solve a leadership challenge. In doing that,
the series carries out CCL's mission to advance the understanding,
practice, and development of leadership for the benefit of society worldwide.
