Kellogg Guide to Practical Leadership 2005

The Kellogg Practical Leadership Guide is a series of articles that draw on the latest research and practical insights of many of our top faculty, written to aid you in becoming even more effective in your professional careers.

The introductory article in the series, Adjunct Professor Harry Kraemer's Personal Reflections on Leadership, will introduce you to the key components of a value-based leader. With later topics ranging from Hiring/Firing Executives and Delegating Responsibilities to Motivating Audits and Improving Process Performance, we believe that you will find the series interesting, stimulating and useful.
