to
Leadership,Ethics, Quality -
One Hundred and Six Musings
for
Decision Makers and Action Takers
"This is not a typical management book, nor is it a
"how to" book. Rather it is a collection of musings
about leadership, quality, and even government from
a retired, but busy executive.
Jim Hennessy is a retired Executive Vice President of
NYNEX (now part of Verizon), Chair of the Board of
Dominican College, former Deputy County Executive
of Rockland County, N.Y., Chair of the Board of
Nyack Hospital, total quality consultant and adjunct
college teacher. For the past twelve years, Jim has
been writing thoughts about his leadership
experiences and other subjects in the form of free
verse musings. He has amassed well over 900
musings.
Friends and business associates, myself included,
have asked Jim to share these musings and thus the
book came to be. Its purpose is to give leaders
thoughts to reflect on, ideas to ponder, provocations
to wrestle with, admonitions to consider, and
inspirations to be guided by. All of these musings
come from the center of Jim's work ethic, that of
servant leader, taken from Jim's deep spiritual
underpinnings and from the writings of Robert
Greenleaf and other authors and from the examples
of many colleagues over the years."
