  This book shows how emerging social forces - such as the sense of alienation from the powers that shape our lives and the increasing tension between individual rights and the common good - are making it more difficult for true leaders to emerge, and tells what can be done to overcome such obstacles. It offers illustrative examples and anecdotes to show how leaders can develop the vision and authority necessary to keep organizations competitive in turbulent times.
