Leslie Kossoff has made an important contribution to the discussion on corporate leadership. The new economic era is based on a systems understanding of the organization, and it is in this contect that her book addresses the essential issues of conviction, commitment and collaboration. The author makes concrete what could otherwise be seen as "soft" issues concerning trust, alignment and corporate culture. The essence of leadership is in inspiring others to align their visions and aims with those of the organization. It takes a special kind of person to enable that to happen. Executive Thinking is a very helpful and enlightening work in this regard. |

Leslie Kossoff shares with us in clear, easy to follow words, the secret of successful executives. It is like being invited inside the heads of our corporate leaders both today and from yesteryear. The principles in this book are tried and true, yet nobody discusses the thinking process of success. There are no management fads or latest buzz words in here - This is the guide of how to turn dreams into reality. Today's business world is changing at light speed. To succeed in these topsy turvy times, now more than ever we have to understand the thinking proces. Ms. Kossoff has done this for us. No other management book comes close. This is THE book for today's and tomorrow's leaders. |

Dream, Vision, Mission: Achieved - Begin to think like an executive with dreams. Organizations exist based on and because of dreams. Dreams of success. Dreams of product or service differentiation. Dreams of creating an enterprise the likes of which have never been known before. In Executive Thinking, the Executive Thinker, rising through the ranks, leads an executive team with ambassadors, working ambassadors and associates, ultimately leaving an executive legacy. A good read. |

Leslie Kossoff has created a comprehensive guide for executives to achieve success far beyond their expectations. Executive Thinking not only applies to business, it applies to everyday life. We all have dreams, but to convey those dreams to others as vividly as we see them is a real challenge. Self perseverance becomes the dictum. Executive Thinking regenerates one's self assurance that here is a healthly business operations style for executives to ensure success far beyond financial profit. |

If you've a business that seems to have grown like topsy very likely this little book is for you. Have you been told that communication within your firm is a problem? What does it mean and more important what do you do about it? Call a general meeting only to find that with 200 or more employees things it's different than when there were only 15 or 20. Employees no longer know you, worse they may no longer trust you. Or maybe you decide that a better e-mail system can help. I'd laugh but I've been there. If any of this seems familiar Leslie Kosoff's little book should help. I've just ordered a copy for each of our supervisors. I tired of hidden agendas and office politics, maybe we can finally begin to pull this firm in the same direction. |

Executive Thinking is a book that leads us systematically down the successful path of bringing a vision to life. So often executives have what they feel are exciting visions for their companies, but end up frustrated at how long it takes for their employees to "get it." I was impressed with Ms. Kossoff's ability to peer into the minds of the many company stakeholders as they receive the news of and are charged with the implementation of the executive vision for the company. She helps the executive anticipate the audience and prepare for the "coming out" of the vision to the organization. Kossoff's insights guide the reader through the many stages of dream, ready, set, go realities of bringing a vision to life. |

This book is so timely! With leaders in all kinds of institutions failing at an alarming rate, we have a leadership crisis. Why do so many fail? Evidence indicates they lack vision and/or do not implement their vision well. Both qualities are essential. In writing about leaders of the future, Rosabeth Kanter has said that those who can balance dreams with discipline will do best. Just how can they do that? Leslie Kossoff in her EXECUTIVE THINKING provides clear, practical directions to help leaders develop personal vision for their company and translate that into a successful reality. Reading this book is like having your own executive coach. It is rich in insights and suggestions about what leaders should know and how they can develop themselves and their employees to build a dynamic company of people who are committed to realizing the leader's dream. The secret of success lies in learning how to develop and promote "executive thinking" throughout the organization. Bill Sadler, Ph.D. Chair of the Business Department. Holy Names College.

Executive Thinking by Leslie Kossoff does something no other management book I've come across does, it not only speaks directly to the process of implementing the changes it advocates, but also the advantages of looking beyond individual functions.
I have lived and worked through MBO, Quality Circles, TQM, and more in my 20 years as a program and project manager and have yet to find a work that does more than give 'lip service' to the need for engaging all staff in the transformation of an organization. As Ms. Kossoff illustrates, it is the job of the CEO to have the dream, but if he does not trust in the talent and instincts of his entire staff, then he should hire new ones, or learn to mine the talents of the ones he has.
Business today is no longer about building a better mousetrap - using slave labor. It's about building new products and services from a 360 degree perspective. Through Executive Thinking, Ms. Kossoff provides a blueprint for building this kind of organization. |
