Description
Bill George's Authentic Leadership offers a tested guide for character-based leaders and all those who have a stake in the integrity and success of our corporations. With twelve years of leadership experience at Medtronic, George shares his insights into what it takes to create lasting value.
The book explores the five essential dimensions of authentic leaders: purpose, values, heart, relationships, and self-discipline. George candidly recounts the toughest challenges he faced during his tenure, including ethical dilemmas and battles with regulatory bodies.
Through his story, George shows how to navigate conflicts between personal values and company business values, as well as trade-offs between customer needs, employee welfare, and shareholder interests. This book provides practical lessons for anyone seeking to lead with integrity and compassion.
