Real Answers for Real Leaders

One-time Medtronic CEO Bill George, author of Authentic Leadership and True North, reveals what he's learned about leadership

Post A Comment
The concept of "authentic leadership" has really caught on in the corporate world, particularly in the wake of the scandals at Enron, WorldCom, and other business giants. There's clearly a thirst for integrity in the boardroom, and no one knows more about authentic leadership than one-time Medtronic CEO Bill George. In this interview, George, author of Authentic Leadership and, more recently, True North, elaborates on his books and explains what he's discovered. He discusses what authentic leadership really is, the characteristics of great leaders, and how good leaders can lose their way and how they can come back -- and what happens if they don't.
