How Leaders Create a Culture of Candor

Transparency

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. There's an "unconscious conspiracy" afoot, aiming to sabotage your plans and undermine your vision. Entrenched bureaucracy, ominous social trends, and mind-numbing routine are among its members - and their proliferation is an unfortunate sign of our times. But take heart. 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.

On Becoming a Leader

TV was to be the great entertainer-educator, an electronic marvel that would, over time, elevate viewers' tastes and sensibilities.
