Reviews
'The critical need to distinguish between leaders and managers that the growing complexity of society demands will be well served by this clear, concise book written by two people who have spent their lives thinking, teaching and writing about it.' - Dee Hock, Founder and CEO Emeritus, VISA, Author, Birth of the Chaordic Age 'The Murphys have provided us with a unique perspective of the complex subjects of management and leadership. While there are countless publications that attempt to define and homogenize these operational and behavioral principles, this body of work takes the reader through a critical analysis that requires us to consider the historical evolution of management and leadership in organizations, current understandings and a look into the future. The book is an interesting and rewarding journey for the reader as, in the end, we are better tooled to understand the appropriate differences and even common elements for what might constitute exemplary management and leadership practices.' - Gary Bonvillian, President Emeritus, Thomas University 'Robert and Kathleen Murphy move us beyond the present status quo into a bright future based on a philosophy I have always ascribed to: Leadership is a matter of how to be, not how to do.' - Frances Hesselbein, President and CEO, Frances Hesselbein Leadership Institute, Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient 'Robert and Kathleen Murphy have brilliantly illuminated the difference between management and leadership.ã Their lessons at the US Army War College served me and thousands of military officers and civilians very well over many years.' - Thomas Bostick, Senior VP, Intrexon
