De qué trata el libro

A Company's greatest resource is the people who work for it. How leaders activate the enormous potential of their employees makes the difference between organizational success and mediocrity. This book identifies the key "people propositions" that are practiced by enlightened companies, and invites leaders to transform their places of work and the lives of the people they lead. Starting with a survey of six hundred organizations, the author goes on to identify the four different ways in which companies treat and value their employees, offering detailed examples of outstanding companies. The author also introduces the reader to the key concepts of "The Purposeful Leader," "The Principled Leader," "The Resolute Leader," and "The Exemplary Leader." Based on the author's decades of leadership experience, and imbued with a healthy balance of theory and practice, this dynamic book encourages leaders to take the bold steps necessary to embrace excellence.
