The will to lead

The Will to Lead: Running a Business with a Network of Leaders by Marvin Bower (1997) explores the principles of effective leadership and organizational management. Bower, a former managing director at McKinsey & Company, argues that companies thrive when they cultivate a network of leaders rather than relying on hierarchical control. He emphasizes values-based leadership, integrity, and long-term strategic thinking as key to success. The book provides insights on how executives can foster a culture of trust, responsibility, and professional development to drive sustainable business growth.
