Conversely, how do senior leaders describe the kind of leader that undercuts the organization’s capacity and capability to create its future?

I am enthused to endorse. It hits any number of themes that are essential to leading well. I will call out two that resonate strongly with my experience. First, we lead people, not balance sheets or machines. In the end, our ability to call forth discretionary energy is what distinguishes us as leaders, and the ability to do that is learnable. This book will challenge you to do just that and will show you how. Second, as I transitioned into the President and later the CEO role, I needed to rethink my role and understand where my leverage came from. The migration was from what had gotten me there—business\/financial acumen, strategic skill, problem solving, focus, etc.—to a far greater focus on understanding how to create a highly engaged culture tied to purpose\/aspiration and cultivate leaders who could do the same. The prior skills are really important (I still use them routinely) but would have been limiting if I hadn't augmented them with new skills. The emphasis this book places on these themes—and the way the authors develop the case—makes great sense.
