Product Description
Synopsis
Strong managers produce predictability and order, but leaders create, communicate and implement visions of the future which enable companies to change themselves in a changing competitive marketplace. Building upon his landmark analysis of the job of the general manager and his influential work on leadership, power and influence, John Kotter now focuses on the human factors which bring change. Using case studies from 11 top corporations, Kotter unfolds the stories behind the great successes of leaders who propelled their companies beyond expectations. Through example after example, Kotter identifies the specific personal attributes of these leaders and illustrates the practices that create outstanding leadership.

5.0 out of 5 stars A useful book, 22 May 2002
John Kotter in his book A Force for Change, describes in detail three subprocesses that are the foundation of leadership. The first is the developing a vision of the future. Kotter believes that this must be along with the strategies for producing the changes needed to achieve that vision. The second is aligning people. According Kotter this involves communication direction and developing coalitions committed to achievement of the vision. The third is keeping people moving in the right direction by appealing to very basic, but often untapped human needs, values and emotions. Kotter distinguish management and leadership. He supports that management produces a degree of predictability and order and has the potential of consistency producing key results expected by various stakeholders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great treatment of a Misunderstood, 15 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This is an excellent book that distinguishes clearly from the often misunderstood roles of leaders and managers. Dr. Kotter, a brilliant author and leadership expert, shows us the way. I suggest you also read a superb book I recently purchased with this one; it gets into what a leader must do to be successful on the job--it's available at Amazon also: "The Leader's Guide: 15 Essential Skills."
