Críticas

'Given the complexities of modern business, leaders have no alternative but to delegate responsibility down through the organization. Thus developing leaders at all levels of the organization is the most critical challenge top leaders face today. In The Leadership Lifecycle, Andrew Ward addresses this critical issue through a fine balance of theory and practice, expounding a leadership model that resonated at both the individual and corporate level and which is brought to life through vivid case studies.' - John Hancock, Chairman, MFI Furniture Group

'Andrew Ward's The Leadership Lifecycle is a must read for those who would avoid the twin viruses of arrogance and complacency that are embedded in every successful organization.' - Donald R. Keough, Chairman, Allen & Company

'The Leadership Lifecycle reminds us that good strategic fit is everything, but also ever changing: A leader's approach must match the company's challenges, and those challenges are always evolving.

Reseña del editor

This book presents a model of the leadership process that identifies which factors create an effective leader at different points in the organisation's lifecycle and which forces act as moderators to that effectiveness. The dimension of how the dynamics of leadership play out over time is what distinguishes this work from previous books on leadership.
