getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.

Frequent leadership authors James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner will convince you that exemplary leaders make themselves great – not because of their DNA or "natural talent" – but because they work hard. Kouzes and Posner back up their claims with extensive references to current research. Their manual aims mostly at helping you on your journey to effective leadership. The authors lay out five fundamentals of leadership supported by about a dozen practices culled from their rich experience. They constantly repeat these fundamentals – self-belief, reliance on others, lifelong learning, servant leadership, authenticity and practice – to drive their message home. getAbstract recommends their insights and practices to new supervisors and managers, and to anyone who develops leaders.
