Business school faculty teaching electives in leadership, and managers who engage in leadership development for themselves or others, should not be without this important resource. Consulting firms and training institutions offering leadership development programs and participants in MBA and executive development programs will also find it invaluable.
Critical Acclaim
‘This book is based on a really important, timely and relevant idea – to bring together sources on the self-management of leadership development. The book is important because almost all leadership development relies to a great degree on the leader’s capability to manage his or her personal development. It is timely because there is currently no single volume that covers the topic; and it is relevant because leadership is such an extremely important issue for the success of our organizations, countries and society in general. The editors have done a thoroughly professional job in identifying top quality authors and combining their contributions into a very worthwhile volume.’
– Ivan Robertson, University of Leeds, UK
