Managers as leaders

I’ve been reading An Invented Life by Warren Bennis and really enjoying it. The overarching theme of the book is a look back on Bennis’ thinking and writing over the past 30 or so years. There’s a nice introduction by Tom Peters and a good preface by Bennis that sets up the rest of the […]

New biz blog to watch

My colleague Mike Tomlin just started a new blog over at BusinessWeek Online. He’s off to a great start with some thoughts about the recent Radio Shack e-firing debacle.
