Investors are increasingly focusing on leadership as a key differentiator in their investment decisions. But they've been forced to rely on instinctive, subjective, and unreliable ways to measure its impact-until now. In this book, leadership scholar, author, and consultant Dave Ulrich proposes a "leadership capital index"-a Moody's or Standard and Poor's rating for leadership. Ulrich offers a leadership index with two domains, each comprising five factors. The result is a groundbreaking book that will be of vital interest not only to investors but also to boards of directors, executive teams, human resource and leadership development professionals, government and ratings agencies, and of course leaders themselves.
