Leadership Is Everybodys Business

“In today’s world there are countless opportunities to make a difference. And more than ever there is a need for people of all ages, from all backgrounds, with all types of life experience to seize those opportunities that lead to greatness,” Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner write on their website, http://www.leadershipchallenge. com/WileyCDA/. “More than ever there is a need for leaders to inspire us to dream, to participate, and to persevere.” Kouzes and Posner are researchers, award-winning writers, and highly sought after teachers in the field of leadership. Their groundbreaking studies, pioneered in 1983, led them to create a model of leadership that has been embraced by more than 2 million people around the world. Their book, The Leadership Challenge, is coming out this year in a fifth edition. It offers readers the chance to take the initiative and make a difference as leaders. I asked them about the challenges that face leaders today, the tools leaders can use to spread the vision among their employees, and the best way to lead a virtual staff.
