In this book, Max De Pree offers a new and even surprising look at the tough challenge leaders face. Artful leaders must master two profound and difficult concepts which business has never dared acknowledge but which an art like jazz has perfected: voice and touch.
The connection of voice and touch - reaching out spontaneously, joyously, to others - is the key go good leadership, as it is the key to inspired jazz. 'Leadership Jazz' throws you back on yourself, makes your reconsider every assumption you have about work. It's guaranteed to make your job brand-new to you, and to show you how immensely powerful and fulfilling the leaders's role can be.
