In this age of increasing complexity, leaders often feel besieged and isolated by the challenges confronting their organizations, and there is a general sense that something is missing in the way leadership is practiced. In The Deep Blue Sea, Wilfred (Bill) Drath provides a succinct and compelling narrative that traces the evolution of leadership thought toward a vision of relational leadership. Drawing on the story of a fictional piano company facing change in both its internal leadership and external markets, Drath provides a comprehensive view of two traditional principles - personal dominance and interpersonal influence - that have shaped our notions of what makes for good" leadership.
