You may wish to purchase one copy for yourself. However, if you have managers reporting to you, you may wish to buy them each a copy.

When it was initially written in 1987, few could have predicted that The Leadership Challenge would become one of the best-selling leadership books of all time. Now, faced with the new challenges of our unpredictable global business environment, Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner--two of the country's premier leadership experts--have completely revised and updated their classic book. 

Building on the knowledge base of their previous books, the third edition of The Leadership Challenge is grounded in extensive research and based on interviews with all kinds of leaders at all levels in public and private organizations from around the world. In this edition, the authors emphasize that the fundamentals of leadership are the same today as they were in the 1980s, and as they've probably been for centuries. In that sense, nothing's new. Leadership is not a fad. While the content of leadership has not changed, the context has-and in some cases, changed dramatically. Topics fully covered include:

  • The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership.
  • Credibility is the Foundation of Leadership.
  • Find Your Voice.
  • Set the Example.
  • Envision the Future.
  • Enlist Others.
  • Search for Opportunities.
  • Experiment and Take Risks.
  • Foster Collaboration.
  • Strengthen Others.
  • Recognize Contributions.
  • Celebrate the Values and Victories.
  • Leadership is Everyone's Business.

For the complete workshop package, please review the Leadership Challenge Workshop: Facilitator's Guide, which includes and encompasses all of these concepts.

Anyone can learn to be an effective leader if they are given the right feedback and tools. 

James M. Kouzes is chairman emeritus of the Tom Peters Company and an executive fellow at the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University. Barry Z. Posner is dean of the Leavey School of Business and professor of leadership at Santa Clara University. Kouzes and Posner are the coauthors of Encouraging the Heart. They also developed the highly acclaimed Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI), 360-degree assessment tools based on the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership.
