OWL BOOK REVIEW
AVIARY
James Kouzes and Barry Posner
The Leadership Challenge, 3rd edition
San Francisco: Jossey Bass, 2002
ISBN: 0-7879-5678-3
Kouzes' and Posner's book, heavily
research based, looks at the context in which leadership is placed.
This basic premise underscoring
this new edition of one of the bestselling leadership books of all time
is that context matters.
The five practices of leadership
remain the same from the earlier editions, but they are discussed in light
of the changes of the past few years. If it has been a few years
since you read a previous edition, you'll find about half the book with
completely new material. Rereading will reinforce your earlier experience
with the book, and you'll deepen your understanding with the new examples.
The five leadership practices include:
• Model the way
• Inspire a shared vision
• Challenge the process
• Enable others to act
• Encourage the heart
The best thing about this book is
that you can rest assured that the information is more than a figment of
the authors' imagination while at the same time you can soar on their examples
and practical advice.
Definitely worth not only the read,
but also the study.
