Reviews
'This thoughtful and challenging book is a welcome contribution to the burgeoning industry of leadership information dissemination.' - Gordon Harris, Professional Manager
'Refreshingly, this book has a good balance of headings and diagrams, free from the dense verbosity of many academic books. This makes reading an effective and satisfying experience for the academic researcher and for the practising manager alike. It is not cheap, but I still think it will be money well spent...this book has an easy-reading format that any reader can benefit from...for its academic credibility, I recommend this book as a source-book for research. For the easy reading utility of this book I recommend it to the lay reader' - Ken Parry, Director, Centre for Leadership Studies, Bond University
'How Managers have Learnt to Lead captures the essence of what it means to learn to be a better leader. [It] does not just clarify what you should do when taking leadership action, [it] makes explicitly clear the development demanded of you if you are to become a better leader. I firmly believe that the approach to leadership learning presented in How Managers have Learnt to Lead can help you to assimilate and distil formal educational training and on the job experience into the wisdom needed to guide leadership action in a way appropriate to context. That is why I am sure that not only is there a need for How Managers have Learnt to Lead, but it is also long overdue. I highly recommend this book.' Geoff Sheard, Journal of Management Development
