Reader ReviewsI have been wondering (and wandering) about the nature of leadership for 50 years - starting as a counselor in training in a Maine YMCA Camp when I was tapped for my "leadership ability". My what? Why me? Why must I live with a heavier responsiblity for the well-being of others than the untapped kids? They seemed to be having more fun. Fifty years later, mind creeking from wear and tear, I am still seeking answers. Joan Gallos brings us forty fresh ways for sense-making about business leadership. Each chapter was a night's careful reading with lots of underlines and notes in the margin. Forty or so nights later, I have better questions, some answers and a freshly lubricated mind. What a compendium of talent! Business Leadership: A Jossey-Bass Reader (The Jossey-Bass Business and Management Reader Series)
