Reviews

... this is a masterful book of its sort ... Grint makes his case consistently and persuasively ... This is an excellent book that deserves to be considered as one of the reference points in the contemporary literature on leadership. Organization Studies This book makes for thoroughly digestible reading. Management Theory with a difference. Ben Maclennan, Leadership Well written ... truly a voyage of remarkable insight into comparative success and failure situations in different contexts ... It is steeped in social and political history, which makes it unique and, for any managers who are students of history, a wonderful excursion ... fascinating, illuminating and absorbing.
