The Three Faces of Leadership takes readers inside the mindsof CEOs who have been celebrated by the Harvard Business Reviewover the last decade of the twentieth century. Drawing oninterviews with these famous CEOs, Mary Jo Hatch, Monika Kosteraand Andrzej K. Kozminski demonstrate how business leaders today useaesthetics, specifically storytelling, dramatizing and mythmaking,to lead their companies successfully. They look at how they inspireorganizations through their creativity, virtue and faith, and thusshow the faces of the artist and priest alongside the technical andrational face of the manager.
The Three Faces of Leadership features clear andaccessible explanations of the aesthetic philosophy of management:as applied to the concepts of creativity, imagination, courage,virtue, inspiration, faith and ethics. It presents techniques fordeveloping these qualities as an essential part of leadership;together with the capacity to communicate them to others. Aestheticleadership practices are linked to organizational culture, change,vision, values and identity. In this way, the book encouragesstudents and executives to align the creative and spiritual aspectsof business with their technical training and practice.

"Can business leaders today assume truly heroic standing, beyondthe hype? This wonderfully stimulating book offers the mostsophisticated and enlightening answer to this question that I havecome across to date. Far from revealing the secrets of greatbusiness leaders, this book shows that as managers, as artists andeven as prophets, such leaders learn to live with ambiguity anduncertainty without resorting to simple formulas and cliches."Professor Yiannis Gabriel, Imperial College, London
"The stories of business leadership embodied and disembodiedhere take our understanding of leadership - and the importance ofstorytelling for leadership - into new landscapes. A thoughtful andprovocative study." Keith Grint, Lancaster University
