Inhaltsangabe

This is not your typical leadership book.

It's the story of two very different women, Judith M. "Judee" von Seldeneck and Aileen K. Alexander, who built their careers in two very different eras. Each started out in public service--Judee on Capitol Hill in the '60s and Aileen in the military in the '90s. Each had a front row seat to observe leaders through challenging and historic times. And they share a common purpose: widening the circle of leaders for a changing world.

In Deliberately Different, Judee, founder of Diversified Search Group, and Aileen, now DSG's CEO leading one of America's top ten executive search firms, share their inspiring leadership journeys. From Judee launching the firm early in the women's movement to Aileen steering it through this transformational era, they share tough decisions, personal memories, and observations about both the timeless qualities and essential traits for modern leaders.

Presented as an open and engaging dialogue between the authors, this book is full of entertaining and uplifting anecdotes that will be useful for executives in any industry, any generation, and any context. Their forward-thinking wisdom sets a new standard of excellence for the leaders who will shape our future--including you.
