Visionary Leadership by Burt Nanus

Visionary Leadership by Burt Nanus

Warren Bennis writes,the bookfills me with equal amounts of admiration and envy. For the first time ever, Nanus defines for us what 'the vision thing' is all about. Successful leaders know that nothing drives an organization like an attractive, worthwhile, achievable vision for the future.

"What makes great leaders great? That's the question Burt Nanusattempts to answer in Visionary Leadership (and does so quite well,by the way)But if you're thinking this is going to be another oneof those nebulous, touchy-feely,here's-the-kind-of-charisma-it-takes-to-get-ahead-in-businessbooks, you're only partly right. Visionary Leadership is all aboutthe one essential component of great leadersnamely, being avisionarybut it's not a theoretical treatise. Nanus writes not onlyof the necessity of a vision to your business' success, but alsohow to develop and sustain that vision.''

"Likely to prove the most important management book of the year.''--Edward Cornish, president, World Future Society

"Ideas with vision have power and magic that carry those ideasbeyond the people who create them. Burt Nanus shows us how to findsuch vision.'' --U.S. Senator Bob Graham
