Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner , internationally recognized experts in the field of leadership and authors of the best-selling Leadership Challenge , explore the important notion of legacy and the critical questions any leader must ask him or herself in order to leave a lasting impact.

 

 In a series of 22 short essays, grouped into four parts: significance, relationships, aspirations, and courage, the authors explore the thorny and often ambiguous issues that today’s leaders grapple with including why:

· People don't commit to plans, they commit to causes
· It's not the leader's vision, it's the shared vision
· There is no silver bullet
· How leading changes who you are
· How the legacy you leave is the life you lead

In what is their most personal work to date, Kouzes and Posner zero in on the core challenges leaders face and offer up a thoughtful and reassuring perspective any leader, or aspiring leader, will learn from and enjoy.

“ Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner have done it again! In clear, concise essays filled with wisdom and insight, they set the standard of what leaders need to be in order to excel in the twenty-first century, starting with the legacy that they want to leave behind. A Leader's Legacy is a must-read, not just for those at the top of organizations but for anyone at any level who aspires to be a leader .”

-Bill George, former chairman and CEO, Medtronic; author, Authentic Leadership
