Synopsis

In The Leader's Checklist, 10th Anniversary Edition: 16 Mission-Critical Principles, world-renowned leadership expert and Wharton professor Michael Useem shows you how to lead through any challenge.

In this illuminating guide, Useem offers a Leader's Checklist that will help you develop your ability to make good and timely decisions in unpredictable and stressful environments—for those moments when leadership really matters.

To illustrate the principles, Useem examines where leaders go right—and wrong. He looks at: how Ramos, the former CEO of ITT, turned around the once-struggling enterprise; how AIG's tone-deaf response to the tumultuous events of the global financial crisis left the company vulnerable to one of the greatest corporate collapses in business history; and how Virginia Rometty, the former executive chair of IBM, acquired and integrated a cloud-computing company to help turn around IBM's fortunes. Based on Useem's own research experience and an array of leadership investigators, thinkers, and practitioners, The Leader's Checklist offers actionable insights you can put into practice as a leader today.

I have to say I am start to wondering the capability of Wharton school.I already finished "Why good people cannot find job." "Customer Centricity", plus "leader checklist" none of them satisfy me.

Goodreads review by Michele on November 17, 2021

Unnecessarily Repetitive I was rather disappointed in this book. It is repetitive in a convoluted way. It might have been better if Useen had covered all that could be learned from an event rather than returning to the event over and over, covering basically the same things. From what I understand Us......more

This is a must read for every leader, mentor and coach period! The Leader's Checklist is the kind of book that I wish I read early on in my career, beginning with my time in military service and in law enforcement as an aspiring leader. It would've set me on a great foundation with the tools and insi......more
