Linkage brings you best practice research and the freshest thinking in leadership and management development, organizational development, and HR strategy and systems. We do this through our own research and through partnerships with the greatest minds and thought leaders in the field. A few of our latest works, offerings, and partnerships include the following:
- In their 2009 book, In Search of Leadership: How Great Leaders Answer the Question, "Why Lead?" (Mc-Graw-Hill), Phil Harkins, founder and CEO of Linkage, and Phil Swift, ARC Financial cofounder, interviewed corporate executives, presidents and prime ministers, educators, an important spiritual leader, and more and uncovered the startling commonalities on how they each answer that question. In Search of Leadership reveals the essential qualities and life lessons of leaders
