Business has gone overboard in stressing order & predictability over the visionary thinking & bold actions emblematic of true leadership. Too many American companies are hobbled by conservative management practices & thus are unable to compete effectively in the international market. Calling for change in the status quo, the author demonstrates the dangers of managerial tunnel vision, questions the lessons of todays elite MBA programs, & discloses the elements of successful leadership. This timely & persuasive book should be required reading for would-be managers & leaders. A profound book.
