Rezensionen

"One of the most refreshing, insightful and thought-provoking bookson leadership. This intelligent treatment opens up many new linesof inquiry and offers many new theoretical and practical insights."John Storey, The Open University Business School

"This is a book for leaders, and for those of us who watchour leaders with appreciation, distaste, empathy, and frustration.Professor March shakes the foundations of how we think aboutleadership...This book will not offer you six easy steps tobecoming an effective leader, but it will provoke, amuse,challenge, and irritate you. It will force you to think aboutleadership in ways that will destroy your innocence."Joanne Martin, Stanford University
