The Leadership Engine
Noel Tichy, co-author of Control Your Destiny or Someone Else Will and one of the world's foremost authorities on organizational transformation, knows that winning corporations are distinguished by their ability to cultivate leadership at every level. An ability that ultimately creates a pool of formidable home-grown talent that can be drawn on whenever top management jobs need to be filled. aBased on extensive consultations with such leading companies as PepsiCo, Royal Dutch/Shell, and Ford Motor Company and honed through Tichy's Global Leadership Program, The Leadership Engine helps businesses exercise this ability by showing how to foster a corporate atmosphere that nurtures leadership and initiative. Tichy explains that top leaders must develop a systematic approach to building a system-wide culture of business leadership on business ideas and values, and they must have a personal vision that can be codified, embodied as a story, and communicated throughout the organization.
