Review

"Every person has instincts for greatness. We instinctively want to do well, to contribute, and to be included on the winning team. No one has to teach us these desires; they are built into our DNA." - Judith E. Glaser"

Product Description

"The world is moving away from top down hierarchy and toward the horizontal spread of power. So, too, must leadership evolve from domination to stewardship. The `genetic roadmap' in Glaser's book can guide your journey along that evolutionary path, and help you leave the organizational dinosaurs in the dust."
--Edie Wiener, futurist and author of bestselling Future Think

Just as your DNA may determine your destiny, a company's organizational DNA may determine its destiny. The DNA of Leadership helps you understand how to shape your company's genetic code for success. Expert author Judith E. Glaser identifies the 7 vital leadership practices that can reshape an organization into a WE-centric culture--a culture that will enable people to effectively work together during times of organizational change. Learn how to "graft" these 7 practices onto meetings, conversations, and strategic initiatives, and you'll leverage talent, maximize results, and boost profits in amazing ways!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wise, informative and effective ... , March 23, 2006

By	Christine Lewis Varley "Executive Coach & Man... (Hartford, Connecticut) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The DNA Of Leadership: Leverage Your Instincts To Communicate, Differentiate, Innovate (Paperback)

"As an 'inside' consultant, whose role it is to facilitate change within organizations, it is critical to have resources available that can be trusted, knowing that they are grounded in reality and based on the wisdom of experience Judith Glaser's second book, The DNA of Leadership, is wise, informative and effective. It is obvious that Ms. Glaser has explored deeply the true meaning of leadership and understands the critical role a leader plays in the on going health of a company.

Although every organization is unique, in my experience the people at the top, the leaders of the company, hold the key. It is their behavior, beliefs and style as well as their ability to communicate and build communities that determine their company's ongoing good health or its continual struggles, sickness and disease. The DNA of Leadership shines clarity on what it takes to be a leader and why ... it is a tremendous work that finally demystifies the myth of effective leadership.

I thoroughly recommend Ms. Glaser's book, The DNA of Leadership, to all leaders at all stages of their careers. We are all looking for answers; Ms Glaser has cleverly woven her ideas and thoughts as well as her practical tools and solutions into an easy to read, engaging book, which I believe should take its place in all business school curriculums as well as on the desk and in the briefcase of leaders everywhere. "

5.0 out of 5 stars Only the enlightened survive , March 19, 2006

By	Benjamin Dattner (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The DNA Of Leadership: Leverage Your Instincts To Communicate, Differentiate, Innovate (Paperback)

Judith Glaser has written another great work that shares its DNA with her excellent "Creating We", but includes enough original material and explanation to make "The DNA of Leadership" an invaluable resource for everyone who read "Creating We" and for anyone who hasn't read it yet. She skillfully uses the metaphor of DNA to describe and explain variations in leadership styles and organizations, how leadership is transmitted and organizations correspondingly evolve, and the differential success of organizations that either harness these principles and thrive or fail to engage them and disappear.

5.0 out of 5 stars DNA and Leadership, August 22, 2006

By	Geoffrey Grenert "Executive Coach and Leaders... (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The DNA Of Leadership: Leverage Your Instincts To Communicate, Differentiate, Innovate (Paperback)

If you are a leader or if you want to become a leader, Judith Glaser's newest book, "The DNA of Leadership" is a must read. My recommendation is to read her other books, "The Power of We", and "Creating We" at the same time.
Judith's E-centric way of looking at the world is a breath of fresh air for those in our family of coaches and leadership consultants. DNA is a book about empowering ones self and others to embrace change, to share a common vision and impact the world around us in a positive way. Through her stories, Judith provides a vision of common people who find the courage to look at themselves, and see how their behaviors have impacted others. Her stories tell us that we are just as capable of making the changes in our own behaviors, changes that allow us to become better leaders.
DNA has helped me to understand that what you say is not as important as how you make others feel.
