In his sixteenth century masterpiece, The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli advised leaders to "learn how not to be good," and moreover, to use this knowledge regardless of individual case. Under the guise of modern day "situational leadership," organizations still take refuge in this outdated theory. In Leading Change, James O'Toole argues that such amoral practices are ultimately ineffective--and demonstrates instead that successful leadership is rooted in high moral purpose and consistent respect for followers.
