How Leaders Build Value: Using People, Organization And Other Intangibles to Get Bottom-line Results

A new look at leadership and shareholder value in today’s businesse

In How Leaders Build Value (formerly Why the Bottom Line Isn't!), authors Dave Ulrich and and Norm Smallwood argue that sustainable shareholder value comes increasingly from assets not accounted for on the balance sheet. These assets include the company’s reputation, its ability to attract talent, and its ability to react quickly to new opportunities in the marketplace.
