The 21st Century Executive: Innovative Practices for Building Leadership at the Top

The 21st Century Executive––the eleventh volume in the Professional Practice Series––is a comprehensive resource that offers seasoned guidance and current practices on the important issue of executive effectiveness and success. While most books on the topic focus on CEOs, this much–needed volume puts the spotlight on a larger group of executives–general managers, corporate officers, and heads of major organizational functions and business units–and offers a broad range of perspectives on how to build effective executive leadership.
