Credibility: How Leaders Gain It and Lose It, Why People Demand It

READ SEP 2011
Excellent follow-up to Leadership Challenge. Timely treatment of an important leadership gap: credibility. Kouzes and Posner describe six principles for developing and maintaining leadership credibility.
Best quotes: "threat, power, position, and money do not earn commitment; they earn compliance. And compliance produces adequacy, not greatness" (p. 32) and "The intuitive understanding that a single thing is or could be many things, depending upon how you look at it, is central to the learning climate created by leaders." (p. 169).
