Noted management theorist James O'Toole puts the secret of history's finest political and business leaders in the hands of today's managers, with this powerful and important new approach to leadership.

"Jim O'Toole has written the essential work for organizations to survive and thrive in today's changing world. His intellectually penetrating thinking shows us how the sometimes conflicting problems we wrestle with-often in piecemeal fashion-fit together to form a complete picture, even as the picture itself continues to change. His message is so critical to the very existence of every organization that any leader who fails to heed his advice condemns his or her company to mediocrity and/or early death. It's that basic."—Warren Bennis, University Professor and Distinguished Professor of Business Administration at the University of Southern California and the co-author of Co-Leaders
James O’Toole is a graduate of Oxford University. He has held the University Associates’ Chair of Management at USC, served as executive director of the Leadership Institute, and was the editor of New Management magazine. Between 1994 and 1997, he was the executive vice president of the Aspen Institute. He has been named one of the 100 most influential people in business ethics by Ethisphere and one of the top 100 thought leaders on leadership by Leadership Excellence magazine. He is the author of Leading Change: The Argument for Values-Based Leadership. View titles by James O'Toole
