{"product_id":"9780825306204","title":"The Best in Us: People, Profit, and the Remaking of Modern Leadership","description":"We have lost sight of the big picture, forgetting that success cannot be measured in profit alone. This narrow focus, particularly from our political and corporate leaders, is one of the primary reasons for our continuing economic crisis. We need a fresh approach to leadership to turn things around.   This new leadership must focus on the people who help generate the profits in addition to the profits themselves. In our hyper-connected world of instant information and democratic openness, the importance of a strong community only grows, and companies that continue to neglect their community are poised for failure. Hope for a healthy economy can be found in the untapped talent of our people-and in a commitment to \u003cem\u003eexcellence\u003c\/em\u003e as the means for awakening that talent.   In \u003cem\u003eThe Best in Us,\u003c\/em\u003e leadership expert and social ethicist Dr. Cleve Stevens, offers a daring and radical new take on leading that emphasizes the rigorous development of leaders \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e followers. It's the people-centric organizations, the ones fueled by a drive for excellence, that will be the most profitable in the coming decades.   The new approach, called transforming integrative leadership, or simply \u003cem\u003etransformative leadership\u003c\/em\u003e, is a compelling, highly effective step-by-step process. Dr. Stevens shows what the transformative organization looks like and precisely how the intended growth for the individual, the organization, and the bottom line is achieved.   The transforming integrative approach outlined in \u003cem\u003eThe Best in Us\u003c\/em\u003e is our best way forward. It's the first brave but necessary step toward a healthy business climate and a reinvigorated global economy.","brand":"Beaufort Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111215448304,"sku":"9780825306204","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780825306204_p0.jpg?v=1763755176","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780825306204","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
