The Three Faces of Leadership takes readers inside the minds
of CEOs who have been celebrated by the Harvard Business Review
over the last decade of the twentieth century. Drawing on
interviews with these famous CEOs, Mary Jo Hatch, Monika Kostera
and Andrzej K. Kozminski demonstrate how business leaders today use
aesthetics, specifically storytelling, dramatizing and mythmaking,
to lead their companies successfully. They look at how they inspire
organizations through their creativity, virtue and faith, and thus
show the faces of the artist and priest alongside the technical and
rational face of the manager.
The Three Faces of Leadership features clear and
accessible explanations of the aesthetic philosophy of management:
as applied to the concepts of creativity, imagination, courage,
virtue, inspiration, faith and ethics. It presents techniques for
developing these qualities as an essential part of leadership;
together with the capacity to communicate them to others. Aesthetic
leadership practices are linked to organizational culture, change,
vision, values and identity. In this way, the book encourages
students and executives to align the creative and spiritual aspects
of business with their technical training and practice.
