Editorial Reviews
Review
‘As a student of leadership for many years, I have tried to keep up with the extensive scholarship on this subject. On Effective Leadership is the most substantive and sophisticated work that has come to my attention for years. Chandler and Chandler lay out their research systematically, define and confront problems carefully, and present their own brilliant concepts on leadership as vision, persuasion, organization and remarkably selflessness. They then apply these phenomena to a variety of real-life leaders and situations. They make good use of existing literature on leadership and make useful judgments on recent and current studies.
On Effective Leadership will serve at the cutting edge of leadership research and analysis for years to come.’ – James MacGregor Burns Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Roosevelt: Soldier of Freedom
