About this title

Review

Now here's an assortment of leaders -- Pericles, Machiavelli, Argentine mothers, and an African Methodist Episcopal Bishop -- such as you rarely encounter together, and with worlds to teach about the meaning of leadership itself. This vivid collection could not be more timely, or more useful. -- William Murchison, nationally syndicated columnist, Creators Syndicate, Inc.

This book delivers what it promises -- a compendium of reflections on leadership that spans contemporary and traditional issues. The collection demonstrates the continuing usefulness of ancient history and the classical text, especially when they are studied and read in light of new questions and understandings. The book will be of interest to high school and college teachers in many disciplines, to student leaders and student life administrators, and to those in managerial and leadership training programs. -- Dr. Stephanie Quin

This book opens theoretical paths to an understanding of political leadership --ancient and modern, literary and empirical. It respects the importance of historical content for understanding specific leaders and yet build analytical bridges across times [to] permit comparisons. --Ed Hargrove, Author, The President as Leader: Appealing to the Better Angels of our Nature, (University Press of Kansas, 1998)
