The main question that guided the thinking behind this book can be stated as follows: "What kind of leadership behavior must executives of technology-driven organizations display to spur performance excellence?" To address this question the authors conducted videotaped interviews of executives from 65 organizations– including General Electric, Qualcomm, The Vanguard Group, and Barclays Global Investors – to identify common behaviors and traits that lead to organizational success. In addition to the interviews, they surveyed the executives’ followers to evaluate the leadership and organizational culture to examine successful executive leadership from multiple reference points. The authors found that displaying outstanding executive leadership doesn't necessarily require a commanding presence, a genius-level IQ, expertise, or even a strong command and control system. At the heart of outstanding strategic leadership was an ability to envision a strategy for taking the raw inputs provided by their environments (e.g., people, technology, ideas, opportunities) and then to weave them into an integrated pattern or system of social, technical and intellectual resources that ultimately produce dramatically higher levels of organizational success factors. The book includes dozens of stories and narratives from the executive leaders to offer readers an in-depth look at what constitutes effective strategy-focused leadership in technology-driven organizations.
When Joan Buchanan purchased the old Borloff estate in Castleton, Kentucky, she was unaware of its history and the dark secrets it held. Castleton residents believe the house is haunted by the ghosts of Borloff’s wife and children who all went missing sixty years before. Their bodies were never found. Townsfolk asserts that Josef Borloff brutally murdered his family then disposed of their bodies. They swear Borloff was the devil incarnate and that his spirit still remains inside Borloff Manor. A non-believer in the supernatural, Joan dismisses the rumors and warnings from the locals, a decision she will immediately come to regret. Only hours after moving in, she perceives that something unpleasant and mystifying is going on inside her new home. Whatever is behind the cause of the bizarre events adversely affects her, her two children, and the family dog, Conroy. Personal items that mysteriously disappear, peculiar noises coming from the cellar, insect and rat infestations, the stench of decay that permeates throughout the house, and unexplainable, realistically vivid nightmares plaguing them all are only the beginning of what’s in store for the Buchanan family. A dark evil lurks within Borloff Manor that only Conroy can see. If he could talk, he’d tell his family why he’s so drawn to the fireplace, and warn them about the mortal peril they’re in. But dogs can’t talk, and since they can’t see what he sees, he’ll just have to remain alert and do whatever it takes to keep his humans protected from the black shadow man that wants them all dead.
