    Summary of The Truth About Leadership (James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner)

    Book Abstract

    MAIN IDEA

    While the context of leadership changes constantly, the content of what makes up good leadership hasn’t changed and likely never will. The emerging leaders of the twenty-first-century and beyond will still be able to count on ten essential truths:

    As a leader, you’ll got to believe you can make a difference

    Credibility is the bedrock foundation of all great leadership

    Values drive commitment, not the other way around

    Leaders are distinctive because they always focus on the future

    Good leaders openly acknowledge they can’t do it alone

    Trust rules – it’s the glue that holds everything together

    Challenges are always the crucible for greatness in leadership

    You either lead by example or you don’t lead at all

    The best leaders are lifelong learners

    Leadership is an affair of the heart
