Synopsis

Cats, of course, won't be herded. And the most successful organizations in the 21st century won't be managed—they'll be led! The answer to America's current leadership crisis is leaders (not managers) who recognize that "the only capital that really counts is human capital." And whether readers are looking for a leader or looking to be a better one, Warren Bennis knows what it takes. Herding Cats spells out the dilemma facing our leaderless society, details the qualities that successful leaders must have, and explores the challenges that today's leaders must face as they move toward change. The 21st century will require leaders who can inspire and orchestrate change rather than impose or simply react to it.
