Summary: If you want to lead & build a culture buy this book
Review: In a world of quick fix leadership books touting the latest fad du jour, the Sashkin's have provided a series of leadership lessons that work. Unlike other fad books they have grounded this approach in both theory and thorough research. More important, they have done this in a direct, easy to understand style and structure that lends itself to action. If you want to
know the current leadership fads so you can hold your own at a cocktail party, this book is not for you. If you want to lead in a dynamic environment and build a culture that thrives on change, this is the book for you.Dr. Brad Lafferty

Summary: Finally, something new.
Review: This book does a marvelous job of surveying the existing landscape of scholarly writing on leadership; then it brings a new clarity to the topic. It seems we have suffered for years with authors promoting a single aspect of leadership -- either traits, or behaviors, or situation/context. The Sashkins show how the combination of the three aspects more fully describes meaningful leadership. Finally a book that isn't about managing, but actually about meaningful leadership. Probably the best one out there today.

Summary: Practical advice for leadership that matters
Review: This book is great! Feedback from my Advanced Leadership Studies graduate students at the Johns Hopkins University was unanimous. The mostly MBA students felt it was easy to read and understand, without a lot of jargon. The text presents a sound research base, yet many students described it as a good "how-to" book that includes clear methods for putting leadership concepts into practice in the workplace. Students gained helpful strategies for becoming and helping others become transformational leaders.
