I highly recommend reading Stanford Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer’s recent books, Leadership B.S. and Dying for a Paycheck. In them he makes a compelling case that most leadership training has failed to produce effective leaders and that the poor state of the vast majority of workplace cultures today is harming the health of people. He provides an abundance of evidence to support these conclusions.

Great Leaders Tell A Great Strategy Story. Most businesses have incredibly compelling stories to tell, full of drama and interesting plot lines. But the blind spot that leaders at most businesses have is a lack of engaging strategy to tell that story.
