Leadereview100: January 2004

The Smartest Guys in the Room by Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind is an amazing look behind the scenes at Enron.  The book illuminates - in a new and fresh way - many of the players: Ken Lay, Jeff Skilling, Rebecca Mark, Andy Fastow and others.  There is a fascinating leitmotif of leaders "partnering" with others to complement their own skill sets.  Peter Elkind spoke with us on January 28th.

Leadereview100: July 2003
Look at two models of leadership – the “rock star” executive and the quiet leader.

In Michael Maccoby’s The Productive Narcissist, provides a model and examples of a visionary, “rock star” approach to being a leader (think Jack Welch, Bill Gates, and Oprah Winfrey) and examine the strengths and weaknesses of this style. There is even a quiz to diagnose your own style!  To listen to our call with Michael, CLICK HERE.

In Joseph Badaracco's Leading Quietly provides a model of "quiet" leadership - people who choose to lead with their "behind-the-scenes" decision making.  The book provides some excellent examples of quiet leaders facing difficult situations.

Leadereview100: March 2003
Taking on more responsibility is one leadership's greatest challenges. You may need to shift you style, learn a new business or market, sway investors and employees. George Anders' Perfect Enough: Carly Fiorina and the Reinvention of Hewlett-Packard is a fabulous account of Carly Fiorina's first few years as CEO of H-P.
 
  • Primal Leadership by Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee is a great read, especially if you would like a better understanding of how your emotions can be contagious.  The book also provides a model of leadership competencies and furthers Daniel Goleman's work on Emotional Intelligence.
