| Title : | Leaders | | Original title : | conversations with Irish chief executives | | Material Type: | printed text | | Authors: | Ivor Kenny, Author | | Publisher: | Dublin : Oak Tree Press | | Publication Date: | 2001 | | Pagination: | 359 p. | | Layout: | ill (b & w) | | Size: | 25 cm | | ISBN (or other code): | 978-1-86076-221-5 | | Class number: | 658.4094 | | Abstract: | "Leaders are not born full-blown. Neither are they made like instant coffee. They are slow brewed in the circumstances of the time". - From the Introduction.
What makes a leader? Ivor Kenny steers away from management theory in addressing this enduring question. Instead, he lets the leader speak for themselves. Seventeen Irish chief executives tell their stories - their memories, their experiences, their passions, their successes and failures - in this series of candid, fascinating conversations. The leaders herein include such diverse names as Denis O'Brien, Eddie Jordan, Peter Sutherland, Chris Horn, Bill Cullen and Stewart Kenny. Ivor Kenny says: "Leadership is a quality of character and intellect, not a condition or empty honour. The indispensible ingredients are the ability to sense the future, to understand the aspirations of followers, to discern the limits of possibilities and to selct the lines of advance which hold the best promise of success". The men whose stories are gathered in this book are the living proof of this. | | Contents note: | Acknowledgements, Introduction, 1. Richard Burrows, 2. Bill Cullen, 3. Mark FitzGerald, 4.
