James (Jim) Kouzes is a highly regarded leadership scholar and an experienced executive. The Wall Street Journal has cited Kouzes as one of the twelve most requested “non-university executive-education providers” to U.S. companies.
Kouzes is co-author with Barry Posner of the award winning book, The Leadership Challenge (over one million copies sold) and is an executive fellow in the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University. Kouzes and Posner have coauthored over a dozen other books and instruments on leadership, including Credibility: How Leaders Gain and Lose It, Why People Demand It; Encouraging the Heart; The Leadership Challenge Workbook, and The Leadership Practices Inventory.
Dr. Ariff Kachra spoke with Jim Kouzes on GBR’s behalf about the nuances of the leadership challenge faced by most executives and middle managers. Kouzes shares his insights on aspects of leadership that were once considered unconventional, but today are hot topics in the field, such as faith-based leadership, leadership in a diverse and multi-ethnic environment, global leadership, the leadership deficit in corporate America, and ethics.
