The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership (The Leadership Practices Inventory)

Rating:
Summary: CLEAR - CONCISE - COMPLETE
Review: Kouzes and Posner have once again struck gold in The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership: When Leaders Are At Their Best. Good things DO come in small packages; this 12 page synopsis speaks directly to the soul of leadership. As an Operations Commander of a mid-size Police Department, I am utilizing the authors' suggestions to change Law Enforcement not only in my agency, but in the larger community we serve. What an AWESOME gift these guys have given to all of us!

Summary: Totally overpriced and overwhelmingly silly...
Review: This is a 12-page promotional piece for Kouzes' and Posner's books and Leadership Practices Inventory, a 30-item questionnaire about leadership, written in the breathy style of business-school literature. A true non-value. If you are interested in their work, buy The leadership Challenge (Jossey-Bass, 1997), which has the same editorial tone but at least says something.
