IN CONVERSATION: WARREN BENNIS
by
Stephen Bernhut
"In an analogue world," says one of the foremost authorities on leadership in this interview, "the CEO knew everything. But in the digital world, it's more humility and vulnerability. Leaders have to understand these differences if they want to really create not only intellectual capital but also social capital." Mr. Bennis goes on to describe the challenges facing leaders today and offers his observations on why some of those leaders fail to understand and meet these challenges. He also outlines the qualities that make a leader succeed in these volatile times, and how a leader can create a dynamic organization in which employees work their best and end up wanting to remain with the organization.
