In the wake of continuing corporate scandals there have been
few, if any, CEOs that have stepped forward as models of
"doing things right"—except the former chairman and CEO of
Medtronic, Bill George. George has become the unofficial
spokesperson for responsible leadership—in business, the
media, and academia. In Authentic Leadership Bill George makes the case that we
do need new leaders, not just new laws, to bring us out of
the current corporate crisis. He persuasively demonstrates
that authentic leaders of mission-driven companies will
create far greater shareholder value than financially
oriented companies. During George's twelve-year leadership
at Medtronic, the company's market capitalization soared
from $1.1 billion to $460 billion, averaging 35% per year. George candidly recounts many of the toughest challenges he
encountered -- from ethical dilemmas and battles with the
FDA to his own development as a leader. He shows how to
develop the five essential dimensions of authentic
leaders—purpose, values, heart, relationships, and
self-discipline. Authentic Leadership offers inspiring
lessons to all who want to lead with heart and with
compassion for those they serve. Bill George helps readers answer vital questions such as:
What should I do when my personal values conflict with
company business values? How do I make trade-offs between
the needs of my customers, my employees, and my company's
shareholders? Do I really want to devote my talents to
business? Authentic Leadership provides a tested guide for
character-based leaders and all those who have a stake in
the integrity and success of our corporations.
