Items related to The 52nd Floor: Thinking Deeply About Leadership
Anyone who has worked for a large organization understands that all bureaucracies demand to be fed. Some of these bureaucracies can develop insatiable appetites, and when they do, the defining aspect between success and failure is often good leadership. But what is good leadership? Leaders are responsible for making sense of the ambiguity that emerges from the complex relationships that define organizations. They provide the frames to help us understand what we see. But when meaning and purpose begin to fade from the day-to-day taskers, special projects and reports, we are left to wonder whether we are observing mere nonsense or something else we just don t understand. How can we know? We must ask questions -- good questions. Any meaningful attempt to understand the complexities of organizational life requires considerable reflection upon one's own thinking. Through a collection of stories, The 52nd Floor: Thinking Deeply About Leadership takes readers on a reflective journey where they can discover for themselves the right questions to ask to create a path to become a better leader. Welcome to the 52nd Floor.

From the Inside Flap:
'Thinking Deeply About Leadership' is a perfect subtitle for this book. Why? Because as you read and get actively involved with the process which Levy, Parco, and Blass created for the reader, you will think deeply about what leadership means to you. This book on leadership is all about you and your leadership point of view, not about the authors' and their leadership point of view. Wow! What a great learning opportunity.--Ken Blanchard, Legendary Co-Author of The One Minute Manager & Leading at a Higher Level Leadership is certainly a subject that requires deep thinking because it determines success or failure in every human endeavor. The 52nd Floor is a non-traditonal approach that provides the reader with a unique glimpse into leadership. A must read for those serious about developing as effective leaders.—Bill Looney General (ret.) U.S. Air Force It takes courage and imagination to write such a book. I can only hope that more will follow. I like the way the questions have been posed, how myths have been shattered, and the emphasis on thinking deeply rather than repeating trivialities. Very well done.—Amnon Rapoport, Ph.D. Distinguished Professor of Management University of California–Riverside An absolutely fascinating look into leadership.Levy, Parco and Blass have fully grasped a picture and spectrum of leadership that has taken me a lifetime to discern. This book will make you think.—Michael J.C. Roth President Emeritus USAA Investment Management Company
