On Becoming a Leader

By: Warren G. Bennis

A timeless classic from a pioneer in the field of leadership studies-the only book you need to read on becoming an effective leader. Warren Bennis (1925-2014) was a pioneer in leadership studies, a scholar who advised presidents and business executives alike on how to become successful leaders. On Becoming a Leader is his seminal work, exemplifying Bennis's core belief that leaders are not born-they are made. In a world increasingly defined by turbulence and uncertainty, the call to leadership is more urgent than ever. Providing essential and timeless insights for generations of readers, On Becoming a Leader delves into the qualities that define leadership, the people who exemplify it, and the strategies that anyone can apply to achieve it. Dubbed the "dean of leadership gurus" by Forbes magazine, Bennis remains the final word in modern leadership. This seminal work is a must-read for anyone who aspires to leadership excellence.

American Bureaucracy

American Bureaucracy

By: Warren G Bennis

Like it or not, contemporary man is man-in-bureaucracy. He spends the majority of his waking hours in a bureaucracy; establishes an identity and status in a bureaucracy; garners most of his satisfactions and disappointments in a bureaucracy; and, increasingly, he is what he does. Aside from the importance of understanding those institutions that shape our values, behavior, and experience, bureaucracy is a vital area for study because it reveals a wide range of social behavior in a compact and comprehensible way. The abstract and ephemeral problems of society at large are brought down to earth —made measurable, comprehensible and visible in the bureaucratic microcosm. Problems of power and influence, change and innovation, intergroup conflict, ambition and aspiration, self-realization versus participative democracy, technology versus humanism: all can be observed and analyzed in human organizations. This volume pinpoints the dilemma of present bureaucratic organizations: the conflict between the need to sustain innovation and bureaucratic drives toward rationality and stability. The essays it contains discuss specific human needs that bureaucracy must meet if it is to continue to attract talented people and takes a step into the future to analyze the kinds of organizations that may be expected to evolve as institutions seek more flexible use of human resources.

Old Dogs, New Tricks

By: Warren G. Bennis

In today's dog-eat-dog world of competition and ongoing change, people in every position--especially the "old dogs"--must learn to work in great groups and creative coalitions rather than as "lone wolves." They must learn the relatively "new tricks" of collaboration and innovation. But often, people react to change as a threat to their security, and lock their organizations into archaic processes. They become like the proverbial "dog in the manger" that neither enjoys the position it has nor allows others to enjoy it, and their companies become "dog tired" and then one day they are "dog gone."

Yes You Can

By: Warren G. Bennis,Jim Rohn

If you need that extra boost to get where you're going, I can tell you with confidence that this book will provide the advice you need to know that “yes, you can” get there! We are proud to present authors whose chapters will give you some tools to help you along your journey to wherever you want to go.I have to admit that there have been times in my life when I definitely thought, “No, I can't!” All successful people get discouraged sometimes. But they don't let discouragement stop them. When you've hit a wall, you have to push through, knowing that eventually yes, you can make it.The authors I interviewed for this book gave me fascinating and innovative ideas about how to push through to achieve that “Yes You Can” mindset. “Yes you can” is a mantra that you can use every day for encouragement. Like the “Little Engine that could” in the children's book, you can say, “Yes I can, yes I can,” all the way up the hills in your life until you grasp what you are reaching for.The preparation for this book was done by way of the authors' education and their impressive experiences in business. But the primary source of their preparation was life itself. Each author's life experiences provided unique insights into what “yes you can” truly means. Their suggestions will help you succeed in every area of life—business and personal.
