First published in 1989, the book has sold more than 800,000 copies in hardcover and paperback. This revised edition brings Max De Pree’s timeless words and practical philosophy to a new generation of readers.De Pree looks at leadership as a kind of stewardship, stressing the importance of building relationships, initiating ideas, and creating a lasting value system within an organization. Rather than focusing on the “hows” of corporate life, he explains the “whys.” He shows that the first responsibility of a leader is to define reality and the last is to say thank you. Along the way, the artful leader must: • Stimulate effectiveness by enabling others to reach both their personal potential and their institutional potential • Take a role in developing, expressing, and defending civility and values • Nurture new leaders and ensure the continuation of the corporate culture LEADERSHIP IS AN ART offers a proven design for achieving success by developing the generous spirit within all of us. Now more than ever, it provides the insights and guidelines leaders in every field need. 1615421 1990 Leadership Is an Art total:120|5:33|4:43|3:35|2:8|1:1| 120 459 190 18 5 0 false false Fri Aug 20 00:00:00 -0700 1999 Thu Feb 26 15:39:02 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 15:53:18 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1989 Thu Mar 05 20:23:01 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 05 20:30:24 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri May 08 08:03:36 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 08:03:43 -0700 2009 www.100bestbiz.com]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Dec 31 12:21:40 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 12:22:29 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1983 Wed Nov 26 10:11:51 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 10:12:24 -0800 2008 3 4 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 07:24:41 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 19:24:42 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1998 Sat Dec 15 17:23:16 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 15 17:27:07 -0800 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Apr 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 12 08:02:43 -0700 2008 Thu May 01 19:36:30 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Fri Jan 18 17:16:46 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 18 17:18:37 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Sep 07 19:36:14 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 07 19:37:36 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Jul 29 07:40:15 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 29 07:41:56 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1995 Mon Nov 12 11:15:42 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 12 11:17:18 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 23 22:37:32 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 23 22:39:27 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Fri Jul 20 08:53:18 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 20 08:53:38 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Fri Jan 04 19:38:01 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 04 19:38:01 -0800 2008 ]]> 5 0 false false Tue May 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 27 20:15:58 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 02 07:24:18 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Tue Mar 25 22:37:39 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 25 22:38:06 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Jul 13 15:03:27 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 13 15:03:27 -0700 2007 2 0 false false Sat Nov 14 20:39:00 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 20:39:00 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 13 07:21:29 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 07:21:29 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1251
