This personal, inspiring, and genuine guide helps you understand the fundamental importance of credibility for building personal and organizational success. "Credibility is the most timely and important issue of
our age. And with this book, based on a solid foundation of
research plus their years of experience, Jim Kouzes and Barry
Posner have thrown us a Hail Mary pass that can help to restore
confidence and trust in our institutions. I am personally grateful
to receive their pass. I bet that you will be too." "My first suggestion on how to build your credibility: read this
book and apply what you learn! Nothing is more important to a
leader than credibility. Jim and Barry do a wonderful job of
showing us all why it matters, how to earn it, and how to keep it!
Another amazing contribution from the world's authorities on
leadership!" "Credibility should be on the must-read list for all
leaders and potential leaders, and should be a required text for
all business majors. Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner clearly outline
the values and traits of credible leaders, and they both confirm
and support the theory that we all want to work for 'credible'
leaders. It is a fantastic read for all of us who aspire to be the
leader that others want to follow." "Over the past twenty-five years, Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner
have built—no exaggeration—the most significant body of
leadership work on the planet. Credibility is a masterpiece because
it accomplishes the seemingly impossible: it boils the vast,
often-complicated and confusing act of leadership down to its
purest essence and then teaches us how to put it into practice in
all aspects of our lives. Simply put, this book will not only
inspire you to make a difference, it will help you do it." "When I graduated from business school back in the early 1980s,
I thought I had to be a 'superhuman' if I were to ever be a CEO
some day. After two dozen years of being a CEO, I now know that
it's not about being superhuman; it's instead about being a super
human. If there's one leadership book that is the operating manual
for how to be a super leader and a super human at the same time, it
is Credibility. Loved every word of it!" The first true revision of the classic book from the bestselling
