Leadership Transformed: How Ordinary Managers Become Extraordinary Leaders

Several years ago, Dr. Peter Fuda conducted groundbreaking research into CEOs who had dramatically and measurably succeeded at transforming themselves and their organizations. This research revealed several common themes, such as using accountability as a tool to build momentum and encouraging authenticity as a means to increase trust and commitment.

Dr. Fuda organized these key similarities into seven leadership metaphors, from Fire (the motivational forces that start and sustain transformative efforts) to Snowball (how accountability can help create critical mass, reducing friction and increasing momentum), and unveiled this framework in a widely regarded Harvard Business Review article. The overwhelming response to his article convinced Fuda to write the manual on transformative leadership, expanding the seven metaphors into a comprehensive system anyone can use to effect significant, lasting improvements in themselves, their teams, and their organizations.
