Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The thing about leaders is that everyone seems to know one when they see one, yet few could define the qualities that set a leader apart from the pack. Author Kouzes brings his insight to this difficult subject based on his years of research and successful collaborations with Barry Posner (e.g., What Followers Expect from Leaders, Jossey-Bass, 1988). Kouzes explains the six disciplines of leadership: discovering oneself; appreciating others and their diversity; affirming shared values; developing capacity; serving a purpose; and sustaining hope. He also presents his definition of leadership, which is fundamentally rooted in trustworthiness. As reader, the author delivers a superb narration, without the usual hype and hoopla so common to this genre. His "fireside chat" style will appeal to harried executives. Highly recommended for all libraries.?Dale Farris, Groves, Tex.

The best leadership guide I have seen,
By A Customer
This review is from: Achieving Credibility: The Key To Effective Leadershipcassette (Audio Cassette)
This is a very powerful audio tape. Every single point resonated with me in a profound way. I have never heard a more compelling definition of leadership than this one from James Kouzes: "Leadership is the art of mobilizing others to want to struggle with you for shared aspirations." I have committed this and many of the other concepts to memory and have found them to be very effective as I have tried to apply them in my own life, not only in the workplace, but in other spheres as well. I am currently sharing these principles with my colleagues, and see the potential for dramatic improvement in our organizational culture as a result.

Worth A Listen,
By Christopher (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Achieving Credibility: The Key To Effective Leadershipcassette (Audio Cassette)
This is a very good tape set. It is informative and identifies specific points that allows the listener to relate very well. I would recommend this to anyone who wanted to enhance their personal levels of credibility. It is a two tape set that runs for two hours. I think that in fact it could have been done in half the time excpet for the speed of narration. If you are a slow listener its perfect, however if you expect a fast moving high powered, high energy delivery, better try another tape set. I liked this set and gave it an over all rating of 72% purely because the narration tended to drag it out. Worth a listen.
