About this book

A collection of essays by presidents of prominent liberal arts colleges and leading intellectuals who reflect on the meaning of educating individuals for leadership and how it can be accomplished in ways consistent with the missions of liberal arts institutions.

Reviews

The purposes of a liberal arts education - critical thinking, the capacity to communicate with various audiences, moral reasoning, civic participation in a diverse and global national and world - are also important attributes of leaders. At Claremont McKenna College, we focus on the preparation of leaders through a liberal arts education and also have students apply these learning outcomes to real world problems. This volume on leadership and the liberal arts exactly builds upon what CMC believes to be the very finest way to educate future leaders: through the intentional integration of leadership studies across a multidisciplinary education grounded in the liberal arts and real world application. - Pamela B.Gann, President ofClaremont McKenna College
