Based on the authors' extensive work in workshops and through the Tom Peters Group in the values, qualities, and attributes of credible leadership, this work takes the view that leadership is a relationship with credibility as the foundation. Credibility, they argue, comes from a combination of self-knowledge, values clarification, and service. The book begins with a discussion of leadership, service, and the importance of relationships. It then moves on to show why credibility is a cornerstone of leadership. The authors present a chapter on each of the six disciplines (honesty, being forward-looking, inspiration, competence, consistency, and change over time), laying out a clear process for building and evaluating credibility.
