Publisher's Synopsis
Your goal is to become a senior leader or a better one-or you are involved in selecting or assessing executives-or you are a teacher, trainer, or student of leadership. You wonder: How does leading at the top differ from leading at lower levels-and how can it best be learned or taught. Leading at the Top: Requirements for Senior Executive Effectiveness is for you! It bypasses the maze of leadership literature, focuses exclusively at the top, and identifies four required areas of competence:
- Characteristics and Qualities
- Ability to Manage Change
- Ability to Manage Crises
- Willingness to Accept Risk
