Features: This book selects many vivid and persuasive examples from companies and non-profit organizations of various sizes, and conducts an in-depth analysis of two famous enterprises—Walt Disney Company and Marks & Spencer. The Leader's Life Cycle uses rich materials to thoroughly depict how organizations evolve and the changes leaders need to make when the organization undergoes transformation. Just as leaders do, it is crucial for organizations to recognize which stage of the life cycle they are in, when they begin to transition to a new phase, and to adjust the leader's role to avoid declining performance. Therefore, The Leader's Life Cycle serves as a roadmap for all individuals in leadership roles at various levels within their organizations.
