Leadership to Last

Leadership to Last asks what allows influence to outlive a career, and answers it through the lives of people who built institutions rather than reputations. Geoffrey Jones and Tarun Khanna draw on interviews and research covering business founders, social entrepreneurs and reformers, many of them working in emerging markets where institutions were weak or absent. Each account is followed by analysis, so the book reads as a set of narratives with the common principles drawn out afterwards rather than imposed in advance. Character of the book: • Leadership writing by Geoffrey Jones and Tarun Khanna • Built on the life stories of long-horizon leaders and founders • Strong representation of emerging-market and social-enterprise experience • An English-language Penguin Publications release Useful for managers, entrepreneurs and students of business history, and available from Boipoka.
