Leaders as Teachers
from Bookends Podcasts
On January 20, 2010, Susan Stamm interviewed Edward Betof for Bookends Book Club. In this interview, the participants explored the implications of leaders teaching through words and modeling to enhance the organization’s effectiveness (profitability) and leadership development. In addition to its compelling story of change, Leaders as Teachers offers a roadmap for other organization wishing to implement and benefit from Becton, Dickinson and Company's (BD) experience. This complete roadmap includes detailed advice on how to introduce the leaders as teachers program and advice on how to overcome resistance to change; how to select, recruit, and train new leaders for the program; and how to evaluate the effectiveness of a fully functioning program. The book provides all the necessary tools, including detailed plans, worksheets, exercises, complete sample training outlines, and extra materials that speed the transition to leaders as teachers and take full advantage of BD’s extensive experience. Dozens of sidebars throughout the book present the participation experiences of BD’s leaders at all levels, frequently asked questions (FAQs), and personal testimonials of those who have benefited from participation in the leaders as teacher program.
