Review

`Lord and Maher have written an important argument. To wrestle with that argument is to become re-energized around issues of leadership' - Leadership Quarterly

`Leadership and Information Processing is a worthwhile addition to the leadership bookshelf. It represents a gathering together of cognitive viewpoints in understanding leadership, and it makes a strong statement about the relevance of those viewpoints.' - Academy of Management Review

`Lord and Maher have attempted, at last, to get away from traditional approaches to understanding approaches to understanding leadership which tend to examine leaders in isolation from their environment.' - Prabhu Guptara, Financial Times
