Emotional Impact Passionate Leaders and Corporate Transformation

This book highlights a frequently neglected element of leadership--personality. Of the many accounts by, or about, leaders who have guided organizations, few say much about how leaders felt as a person or how their charisma and passion affected their colleagues. Based on candid in-depth interviews with prominent leaders, including Ian MacLaurin of Tesco, Richard Ide of Volkswagen and Tim Waterstone of the Waterstone bookselling chain, the authors explore the emotional impact of being a leader.
