Viewing leadership as a realm where rules only occasionally apply, Cronin (American institutions and leadership, Colorado College) and Genovese (political science, Loyola Marymount U.) eschew how-to formulas for leadership and instead see it as a series of dilemmas, choices, and paradoxes. They examine how leaders deal with these challenges and contend that leadership is a process that encourages the accomplishment of group purposes; that its tasks are to learn, build morale, motivate, educate, and create human communities; that leaders need followers; and that many aspects can be learned. They define leadership and consider how leaders lead, why and when followers follow, how it works, what its limits and possibilities are, what happens when leaders "go bad," and how they can be valued, empowered, and constrained in a democratic culture. They also discuss what can be learned from the classics, business, politics, the military, and Hollywood; leadership's creative side; and its roles, from motivator to teacher.

Recenzijas

"Cronin and Genovese have written a compelling and original book. It is terrific -- a real addition to the leadership canon." -- Warren Bennis, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California

"This book offers unique insights into the field of leadership with stunning examples about what historical and popular leaders can teach us. Cronin and Genovese give us an entirely different perspective on the field. This is a must-read for anyone interested in leadership!" -- Nicole Cundiff, Director of the Northern Leadership Center, University of Alaska-Fairbanks

"This book is an absolute tour-de-force -- one of the most wide-ranging, fascinating, intricate studies of leadership I have ever read." -- Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and presidential historian

They unpack the paradoxes of leadership, provide memorable illustrations, and include nuggets of wisdom for anyone interested in learning more about this complex human activity." -- Nannerl O. Keohane, President Emeritus of Wellesley College and Duke University and Lawrence S. Rockefeller Distinguished Visiting Professor of Public Affairs and the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University

"A unique, well-researched, and well-written book on leadership that has been needed for a long time. This book is the one I have been thinking about writing.
