Title: From sage to artisan
First published: 1997
Description: "Going beyond the artificial distinction between management and leadership, this innovative work points out that leadership opportunities are inevitably embedded in the context of management issues, and shows how effective managers are constantly filling the many leadership roles demanded by an organization's needs.

Each of the nine roles described in this book - Sage, Visionary, Magician, Globalist, Mentor, Ally, Sovereign, Guide, and Artisan - represents the intersection of a leadership process with the focused responsibilities of a manager. Emphasizing the core values that are a prerequisite for success in any context, From Sage to Artisan shows how individuals, whether team members or top executives, exercise leadership not by having the loudest voice, but by creating order, inspiring action, or improving performance.

Practical and profound, this book shows managers how to recognize the leadership opportunities before them, and how to develop and grow in new and challenging roles."--BOOK JACKET.
