Executives today encounter social, psychological, and technical problems undreamed of by their predecessors. To help meet these challenges, Harry Levinson has written a thorough and timely revision of his acknowledged classic, The Exceptional Executive.

In Executive the author has added new material emphasizing the need for executive flexibility the ability to work with multiple constituencies, to mitigate tensions between middle and top management, to comprehend the social context within which business operates and to understand the needs of women and minorities. He has also added fourteen case studies that illuminate these major themes and problems.
