Leadership Is Not A Popularity Contest	Balance Advice With Your Own Judgment	Make Or Break Decisions

Sanjiv Ahuja Former CEO Orange Group	Sir John Banham Chairman Johnson Matthey	Michael Jackson Chairman PartyGaming

Effective and decisive leadership will mean making unpopular decisions at times, so don’t confuse popularity with making the right choices. People will respect you for it in the end.	Advice is very rarely consistent. Trust your own judgment and have a clear idea of what you think before you listen to advice: otherwise you won’t have any benchmark against which to balance or evaluate it	Key Decisions that could make or break a business will need to be made at various stages in a company’s development. Don’t be afraid to act decisively when this time comes, as this could be what saves the company’s fortunes..

			The Fourth Wave: Business in the 21st Century An extension of the waves of change concept that Alvin Toffler introduced in his book, The Third Wave. Maynard and Mehrtens use this premise as a framework for their vision of the 21st century-The Fourth Wave-an era of integration and responsibility far beyond Toffler´s revolutionary description of postindustrial society. The authors describe the structure of change so people will understand that obstacles are part of an inevitable process toward a new and better world that will take responsibility with creativity, compassion, and community. This is a book that helps business leaders understand what view and courses of action are possible, where business and society are going, and how business is relating to the world and to its stakeholders.
