that drive strong results across the board? Drawing on over 30
years of research and data from more than two million constituents
around the world, Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, the bestselling
authors of The Leadership Challenge, expand on their work with The

apply discretionary effort to their work. People put forth much
more effort for their best leaders and very little for their worst
leaders. Leaders who more frequently exhibit exemplary practices
foster engagement and inspire people to go from acceptable to good
and even to great. Filled with new findings from Kouzes and
Posner's original research, Great Leadership Creates Great
Workplaces expands the reach of The Leadership Challenge to address
pressing, critical issues around employee engagement, and how
leaders can improve it to outperform the competition.
How any manager can turn a struggling team into business champs
In today's uncertain economic environment, teams are asked to do
more with less. With resources stretched thin, turning around a
struggling team has never been harder, and managers must work to
identify and maximize whatever potential strengths a team already
has. As sports fans already know, behind every great underdog story
is a leader who roots out the competitive advantage that will
propel the team to victory. In "Team Turnarounds," Joe Frontiera
and Dan Leidl share how this fine art of the turnaround really
works, from how to inspire the team to the actual tools for
change.
Through interviews with team managers and turnaround masters in
the NFL, MLB, and the NCAA, as well as managers at top global firms
who have successfully reversed their fortunes, they show the six
steps every team takes to make a 180 in their performance.
- Presents a six-step model for turnarounds in any organization,
based on the authors' extensive research with owners and general
managers of sport franchises in the MLB, NFL, and NBA- Features
first-hand accounts of sport turnarounds, from the legendary
worst-to-first story of Bill Polian and the Indianapolis Colts to
Jeffrey Lurie's efforts to transform the Philadelphia Eagles
- Offers behind-the-scenes accounts of effective turnarounds at
major organizations like Dominos Pizza, Juniper Networks, iContact,
and the Broadway play, "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark"
No matter how bad the circumstances, how awful the performance,
or how far shares have plummeted, "Team Turnarounds" shows how any
organization can make the climb back up to the top.
Leaders are no strangers to challenges; in recent years, businesses
have experienced unprecedented layoffs, dismal sales, dwindling
retirement accounts, and the bankruptcy of once-heralded
institutions. While these uncertain times are difficult, they also
provide the opportunity for great leadership. Over three decades of
research, Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, the bestselling authors of
The Leadership Challenge, have asked thousands of leaders to
describe their personal leadership best. Across the board, people
say their greatest moments arise out of the most difficult periods
of their careers. Turning Adversity Into Opportunity reveals how
leaders at any level can transform difficult circumstances into
opportunities for growth and success. Kouzes and Posner offer a
clear set of six actionable strategies, showing how extraordinary
leaders navigate through uncertainty, hardship, disruption,
transformation, transition, recovery, new beginnings, and other
significant challenges. Exemplary leadership disrupts the status
quo, and Kouzes and Posner show how to awaken and pursue new
possibilities and opportunities, no matter what the circumstances.
Wherever you find yourself in your organization or community,
Turning Adversity Into Opportunity will help you embrace the chance
within any challenge to make a real difference.
