'This sparkling collection puts care where it always should have been - at the forefront of leadership studies. Drawing on a wide variety of perspectives it encourages us to think afresh about why leadership really matters and how it should be practised. It is a gem.' -- Dennis Tourish, University of Sussex, UK 'Leadership can be brutally self-assertive - or it can be pastorally tender: this is just one of the many paradoxes teased out and explored by the editor and her top-class team of 22 genuine collaborators, in a beautifully produced and critically sophisticated volume that never wearies and genuinely stimulates and inspires.' -- Paul Cartledge, University of Cambridge, UK 'A very welcome collection examining an often-neglected side of leadership, and one that does so with remarkable intellectual range. It draws not only on psychology and philosophy but also on literature and evolutionary theory; on classical and contemporary traditions; as well as on thinkers as diverse as Keats and Arendt. What readers will appreciate most, though, is the balanced-and sometimes critical-approach many of the essays take.' -- Terry L. Price, University of Richmond, US
