In a groundbreaking study of these two disparate groups - affectionately labeled "geeks" and "geezers"--Leadership experts Warren G. Bennis and Robert J. Thomas set out to find how era and values shape those who lead. What they discovered was something even more profound: the powerful process through which leaders of any era emerge." "Geeks and Geezers will forever change how we view leadership, but also how we reflect on our own formative experiences. Illustrated by compelling interviews with extraordinary individuals under thirty-five and over seventy years of age, the authors present a new model that predicts who is likely to become and remain a leader - and explains why others fail to rise to the challenge. At its heart are what the authors call "crucibles"--utterly transformational experiences from which one can emerge either hopelessly broken or powerfully emboldened to learn and to lead."--Jacket.
