Cohen and Bradford give both leaders and followers the tangible tools they need to create high performance. Their transformational leadership system is both sophisticated enough to capture the realities of life in today's organizations and simple enough to be immediately useful to managers in any part of the world.

This text is aimed at middle managers whose job is to turn the grand designs of CEOs and Presidents into a personal commitment on the part of the individuals in the department.

They show managers how to lead - how to motivate employees to get routine jobs done creatively and productively, while preparing them to take greater responsibilities.
