Leadership by design

the long version

In Leadership by Design, Vicere and Fulmer argue that executive development is undergoing a fundamental shift away from conventional methods that benefit only a few chosen successors toward a strategy that drives the flexibility, commitment, and competitiveness of the entire organization. With Leadership by Design, they explain strategic leadership development: what it is, how it evolves, and how it is being addressed through both traditional techniques as well as revolutionary new practices. Here, in a single volume, Vicere and Fulmer have synthesized the most influential ideas that shape the current thinking on organizational strategies for professional growth and executive education. Leadership by Design catalogs the best practices and benchmark programs currently available, and offers a hands-on framework to help companies design unique - and effective - programs for inspiring and enabling their future leaders.
