Kaplan and Kaiser’s New Book: “The Versatile Leader” 4-26-2006

New book by Kaplan and Kaiser shows their original research on the importance of leadership versatility and how to become “The Versatile Leader.”

Bob Kaplan has just published, with Rob Kaiser, “the next best thing to a consult from Kaplan DeVries”: a book written for managers and their helpers that shares the secrets learned from over a decade of research and consultation to senior leaders. “The Versatile Leader” presents a ground-breaking view of performance that emphasizes the tensions and trade-offs confronting leaders, a fresh approach to assessment that goes beyond “the same old 360,” and introduces a practical psychology of leadership development. The book is useful for self-help, helping other managers, and for coaches and training professionals.
“The Versatile Leader” is receiving praise from executives like Corning’s CEO, Wendell Weeks, and leadership experts like Daniel Goleman (Emotional Intelligence). It is based on Kaplan and Kaiser’s runner-up article of the year in MIT’s Sloan Management Review, “Developing Versatile Leadership.”
