Description: "Skyhooks for Leadership offers you an all-new model for leadership that really works. Based on the enduring concepts of 19 business luminaries of the last 5 decades (including Peter Senge, Tom Peters, Abraham Maslow, Frederick Herzberg, James M. Kouzes, Barry Posner, and Rosabeth Moss Kanter), this is business alchemy at its best - a bold melding of well-established leadership principles into a practical, 7-step process for successfully leading change initiatives within organizations."--BOOK JACKET.

"What is a skyhook? It's a mining term for a bolt driven into the ceilings of mineshafts to keep them from caving in. In business, skyhooks are anchor points for human interaction that hold fast even when everything else is in flux."--BOOK JACKET.

"Highly original, yet built on a rock-solid foundation, the Skyhooks model for leadership will help you to provide a sense of heightened purpose, continuity, and stability - and achieve change smoothly, without debilitating confusion and resentment."--BOOK JACKET.
