From one of the most respected names in business and leadership,a rare look at the specifics of how great leaders achieve "commonpurpose" and success within their organizations.
What is common purpose? It is that rare, almost-palpableexperience that happens when a leader coalesces a group, team orcommunity into a creative, dynamic, brave and nearly invinciblewe. It happens the moment the organization's values, tools,objectives and hopes are internalized in a way that enables peopleto work tirelessly toward a goal. Common purpose is rarelyachieved. But Kurtzman has observed that when a leader is able tobring it about, the results are outsized, measurable andinspiring.

"A thoughtful...and ethics-based discussion on leadership inthe modern age by lauded businessman Kurtzman. A solid and readablelook at 'New Leadership.'" (Publishers Weekly, January 18,2010)
"Through well-told anecdotes and strong logic, Kurtzmanconvincingly demonstrates that the essence of leadership is theability to forge, from a disparate group of individuals, "acreative, dynamic, brave and nearly invincible we." How does one dothat? Not by stepping out in front of the group, describing avision, and leading the charge forward. Rather, Kurtzman's idealleader is deep in the mix of the organization, causing its values,objectives, and approaches to be internalized by decision makers atevery level." (Harvard Business Review, January-February2010)
