Overview

"It's a question that has been tackled by many, many business thinkers. In fact, there are literally tens of thousands of leadership studies, theories, frameworks, models, and recommended best practices.

"Dave Ulrich, Norm Smallwood, and Kate Sweetman set out to answer these questions - to crack the code of leadership. Drawing on decades of research experience, the authors conducted extensive interviews with the thought leaders in this field - and heard the same five essentials repeated again and again. These five rules became The Leadership Code." In The Leadership Code, the authors break down great leadership into day-to-day actions, so that you know what to do on Monday morning. Crack the leadership code - and take your leadership to the next level.

    Five rules for becoming a leader

    Dave Ulrich, Norm Smallwood and Kate Sweetman have accomplished an almost impossible task: sifting through the overwhelming amount of information and knowledge on the nebulous subject of leadership, and actually making sense of it. They synthesize their research into five essential rules they call the "Leadership Code." They tell readers how to strategize, execute, involve employees, develop a base of talented people and how to grow as leaders. Filled with business vocabulary, this is clearly a book by businesspeople for businesspeople. Nonetheless, getAbstract recommends it to current and aspiring executives who want to crack the code to find and follow the elusive path to great leadership.
