An analysis of the problems facing anyone who tries to take charge of an organization--of whatever kind--and effect change; with specific suggestions. Leaders beware.

In this highly acclaimed work, legendary management consultant Warren Bennis unmasks the culprits, analyzes their tactics, and offers new insights for change agents struggling to take charge in an era that conspires against effective leadership.
