Creating Contagious Leadership

by John Hersey

What if leadership in your organization was like a pot of boiling water? It begins as a pool of cool water. When you apply heat, one or two little bubbles (leaders) begin to appear. They multiply creating a leadership "bubble effect" of "hot molecules" modeling and passing on leadership qualities to others. John Hersey tells us why an environment full of Contagious Leaders is not pie-in-the-sky thinking, not complicated, not expensive and, above all, not an option.

Reviews

[Scott Brown]

Great lightweight book focusing on how to infect others around you with leadership. I had the opportunity to attend John Hersey's seminar on this topic. John is a very motivating and contagious person.
