Zenger Folkman is always looking for talented, innovative people to join our team.
When the best-selling The Extraordinary Leader book was first published in 2002, it immediately attracted a large and loyal audience. Readers were drawn to the authors’ groundbreaking research and their focus on the importance of maximizing strengths, as opposed to fixing weaknesses. Their research provided a universal model for achieving exceptional business results.
Now, Jack Zenger and Joe Folkman, two of today’s preeminent leadership experts, have updated the book to include new research findings, a broader and more global outlook, and new chapters regarding the core topic of developing strengths. The result is an indispensable book arming leaders with research-based strategies for strengthening leadership both in individuals and in organizations and providing the unique tools needed to excel in today’s economy.
