In this best-selling book, Kouzes and Posner (authors of The Leadership Challenge) explain
why leadership is above all a relationship, with credibility as the cornerstone. They provide
rich examples of real managers in action and reveal the six key disciplines and related practices
that strengthen a leader's capacity for developing and sustaining credibility. Kouzes and Posner
show how leaders can encourage greater initiative, risk-taking, and productivity by demon-
strating trust in employees and resolving conflicts on the basis of principles, not positions.
"Make room on your bookshelf for Credibility. Here is a much-needed human approach to
leadership, finally focusing on issues that really matter—honesty, sensitivity to diversity, and
the need for community."
—Ken Blanchard, chairman, Blanchard Training and Development, Inc., and coauthor,
The One Minute Manager
