Transforming Leadership is an outgrowth and extension of Transforming
Work, acknowledging and exploring the crucial role of the organizational
leadership in transformational change. This was the first practical
guide for organizational leaders who wished to implement the concepts of
"vision," "alignment," "work spirit," and "purpose" in their
organizations. This Second Edition contains the original 20 chapters,
plus the authors' reflections on their work at the turn of the century.
