Reviews

Fiils a gap in the leadership literature for both scholars and for leaders. Well-documented with practical and realistic advice- not a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all appraoch. - Barry Z. Posner, Professor, Leavy School of Business, Santa Clara University In life you either learn from situations you experience personally or from those others have experienced. This book allowed me to better understand how I was able to cope with the loss of my wife and continue to prosper in my professional life. It's an excellent guide to coping. -Ray M. Robinson, Chairman, Citizens Trust Bank Finally, there is a serious treatment of how leaders and the organizations should respond during unfortunate but inevitable circumstances in the personal lives of those we entrust with responsibility. Hickman and Knouse's work is a sensitive, careful, and original study of a neglected but important topic in leadership studies. -Kenneth P. Ruscio, Senior Distinguished Lecturer, Jepson School of Leadership Studies, University of Richmond and President Emeritus, Washington and Lee University
