The Three Faces of Leadership takes readers inside the mindsof CEOs who have been celebrated by the Harvard Business Reviewover the last decade of the twentieth century. Drawing oninterviews with these famous CEOs, Mary Jo Hatch, Monika Kosteraand Andrzej K. Kozminski demonstrate how business leaders today useaesthetics, specifically storytelling, dramatizing and mythmaking,to lead their companies successfully. They look at how they inspireorganizations through their creativity, virtue and faith, and thusshow the faces of the artist and priest alongside the technical andrational face of the manager.
The Three Faces of Leadership features clear andaccessible explanations of the aesthetic philosophy of management:as applied to the concepts of creativity, imagination, courage,virtue, inspiration, faith and ethics. It presents techniques fordeveloping these qualities as an essential part of leadership;together with the capacity to communicate them to others. Aestheticleadership practices are linked to organizational culture, change,vision, values and identity. In this way, the book encouragesstudents and executives to align the creative and spiritual aspectsof business with their technical training and practice.
