About this title

About the Author:

Stuart Wells is Professor of Organization and Management at San Jose State University where he has participated in major curriculum redesigns and served as Director of the Center for Global Competitiveness.

From Library Journal:

Consultant Wells (organization and management, San Jose State Univ.) contends that management and leadership are essentially the same: they are about creating order, inspiring action, and improving performance. He believes leaders have strengths and weaknesses in each of nine roles, which they draw on and work to improve. Each chapter gives the characteristics associated with a particular role and also a chart indicating signs of excess. Exercises for approaching one's duties in each role are included at chapter ends. The self-administered test at the back of the book points out the reader's strengths and weaknesses, and there is even a test that can be mailed to the author's company for scoring. Wells uses many abstract terms with few concrete examples. Recommended only for libraries with a large collection of management books.?Peggy D. Odom, Texas Lib. Assn.,Waco
