　　The animal metaphors for business seem to stick--after elephants that can't dance come mammalian and reptilian leaders. White, now president of the University of Illinois (with a nearly $4 billion annual budget), ponders four quadrants of leadership competencies, giving examples from his work life at Cummins Engine and corporate directorships. This is an important topic, c***idering that 30-50 percent of CEOs are prematurely ousted. He builds a pyramid with to-be-expected qualities--ability, character, integrity, and the like--as the foundation. Reptilian (read critical, detached, ***ytical) and mammalian (or nurturing, engaged, emotional) traits balance each other, topped by the five secret ingredients--innovation, risk taking, appetite for talent, helicopter view, and sparkle factor. Simplistic almost to a fault, all these characteristics, he claims, are critical to the *** of today's and tomorrow's leaders; the author devotes his last chapter to the art of becoming. Yet with many acclaimed U.S. CEOs close to retirement (or already there, e.g., Jack Welch, Lawrence Cassidy), the question then becomes, where have all the leaders gone?

书籍介绍

A great leader is a truly unique animal, possessing both the warmth of a mammal and the cold-blooded toughness of a reptile Enlightening, encouraging, and filled with incredible anecdotes from the author's own experience, The Nature of Leadership explores these characteristics, with examples of leaders ranging from tough-minded Lou Gerstner at IBM to mammalian leaders like Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines and Wendy Kopp, founder of Teach for America. Key features Contains anecdotes from the author's own experiences, including his participation in the landmark University of Michigan affirmative action Supreme Court case, as well as less*** he learned from meeting world-famous figures like former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Bishop Desmond Tutu Unique, approachable metaphor to describe different kinds of leadership styles. The author points to both successes and failures (his own as well as those of his subjects) and describes eloquently how mammalian, reptilian, and other attributes contributed to those outcomes Uncommon in leadership books is the idea of visionary succession planning being a hallmark of a great leader. White illustrates how the best succession planning recognises the importance of both mammalian and reptilian characteristics
